Description
A warm, buttery split-top roll stuffed with creamy macaroni and cheese blended with tender lobster chunks, finished with a glossy brush of extra melted butter and fresh parsley.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (200 grams) elbow macaroni
- 1 cup (150 grams) cooked lobster meat, chopped
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) whole milk
- 1 1/2 cups (170 grams) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 4 split-top rolls
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the macaroni until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute until lightly golden.
- Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until thickened.
- Reduce heat and add cheddar and mozzarella. Stir until melted and smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
- Fold in the cooked macaroni, then gently stir in the chopped lobster.
- Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and brush the outside of each split-top roll.
- Place rolls on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5 minutes until lightly golden.
- Spoon the lobster mac and cheese filling into each toasted roll.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- Grate cheese fresh for the smoothest sauce texture.
- Do not overcook the lobster to keep it tender.
- Reheat filling gently with a splash of milk if making ahead.
- Toast rolls just before serving for best texture.
