With five different cheeses, our "adult" macaroni and cheese is already a stand out. Adding lobster and panko bread crumbs takes it to the next level. Pair with a salad, bread sticks and glass of wine for a simple, romantic meal. 

Ingredients:

Gently stir in lobster or surimi; top with buttered crumbs. Bake for 15 or 20 minutes until lobster is hot and crumbs are deep golden brown.
