Rich, creamy, and utterly indulgent – this luxurious take on mac & cheese brings together the comforting creaminess of Trewithen Dairy’s salted butter and Regen Milk with the delicate sweetness of fresh lobster. A trio of cheeses, including mature Cheddar and Red Leicester, melts into a silky sauce, finished with a touch of cider and optional lobster bisque for extra decadence. Grilled to golden perfection and topped with herby lemon buttered lobster, it’s a showstopper for a special springtime supper.

Lobster Mac n Cheese
Serves: 4 Prep Time: 15 mins Prep Time: 15 mins Prep Time: 30 minsMethod
Step 1
Saute the shallots and garlic in butter and after a few minutes add flour to form a roux. Cook out the flour and then add cider and reduce for a few minutes before adding Trewithen Regen Milk followed by some Lobster Bisque. This is available from supermarkets, or you can add your own fish stock.
Step 2
Bring back to a simmer and then add in all the grated cheese. Stir until melted and stretchy in consistency. Season with sea salt, white pepper and grated nutmeg.
Step 3
For the lobster, split in half and crack the claws. Then warm on or under a grill for 3-4 mins with a basic herby butter. Finish with lemon juice once it has warmed through, remove from the shell and roughly chop.
Step 4
Top the mac n cheese with the lobster meat and little extra cheese and cook on a BBQ or under the grill until golden. Garnish with some finely chopped chives.
