This Ruth’s Chris–inspired Lobster Mac and Cheese is the definition of steakhouse luxury. Creamy, velvety cheese sauce wraps around tender pasta and sweet chunks of lobster, creating a dish that feels indulgent enough for special occasions yet comforting enough for any night you want to elevate dinner.
The sauce is built the classic way—starting with a buttery roux and enriched with warm milk and cream. White cheddar brings sharpness, Gruyère adds nutty depth, and Parmesan finishes with savory richness. The result is silky, balanced, and deeply flavorful without overpowering the delicate lobster.
Baking the mac and cheese allows the top to turn lightly golden while the inside stays creamy and luscious. Every bite delivers tender pasta, melted cheese, and buttery lobster in perfect harmony.
