Lobster Mac 'n Cheese Recipe

• 8 oz. elbow macaroni
• 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, divided
• ¼ cup flour
• 2 cups whole milk
• ½ shallot, minced

• ¼ tsp. nutmeg
• 6 oz. gruyere cheese, shredded

1. Heat your oven to 375°F.

6. Simmer 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
7. Stir in the cheese until melted and smooth.
8. Return the pasta to the large pot. Pour in in the cheese sauce and mix well. Stir in the lobster.
9. Pour the macaroni and cheese into a 2-quart baking dish or 6 oven-safe soup cups.
