How to make Ruth Chris’s Lobster and Macaroni cheese recipe?
Step 1: The prep work
First of all, you will have to start by preheating your oven to about 400 degrees Fahrenheit. After preheating it, heat a pan on the stove over high heat. After heating it, add a little olive oil.
After the grill or the pan is hot, add lobster tails in it. Grill the lobster meat for about ten to twelve minutes.
While cooking the lobster, put a pot of salted water on your stove and cook the Macaroni by following the directions on the package.
Step 2: Making the cheese sauce
To start the prep for cheese sauce, put a large saucepan over medium heat. After that, add flour and butter and keep stirring the mixture for three minutes straight until it thickens!
If you want to make the sauce thicker, add milk gradually to the mixture. The slower you add milk to the mixture, the thicker it will be! After that, add gruyere and parmesan cheese to the sauce.
Make sure that each chunk of the cheese blends in perfectly with each other! Save a little of each for topping it off before baking!
After you finish the cheese, add pepper, garlic, mustard powder, and nutmeg! Stir the mixture well!
Step 3: Combining the mixture and baking!
After you are done combining all the ingredients, it’s time to add macaroni and lobster tails to the cheese sauce. Add these two major ingredients and stir everything until it combines well!
If you want the pieces of your lobster to be small, you can cut the lobster tails into bite-sized pieces. Spray your baking dish properly with cooking spray, and add the mac and lobster!
Sprinkle the type of cheese you want on the top and bake the dish for about twenty to twenty-five minutes until the cheese is golden brown!
How to store lobster mac and cheese?
The recipe will serve around six people; however, if you have cooked extra, there is no need to worry as you can store it and eat it for the next few days!
After the macaroni and cheese lobster has cooled, transfer the mixture to a tight container, after that store it in your refrigerator! The shelf life of the dish is three days, meaning you can eat it up to three days!
How to reheat lobster mac and cheese?
If you want the dish to taste like before, put it back in the baking dish and heat it in the oven! The authenticity of the dish will be retained after you reheat it! Reheat it to 300 degrees Fahrenheit in the oven for about fifteen minutes! Strictly refrain from keeping the dish in a microwave as it might make the lobster rubbery!
Tips for buying the lobster tails
- Ensure that the label states, ‘cold water’ lobster tails.
- Avoid buying the lobster if it has brown spots or gray flesh.
- Sodium tripolyphosphate is the preservative that allows the lobster meat to be fresh for a prolonged period. Check the label for these ingredients, and if it has this ingredient, do not buy it!
