This is a very rich dish, so you might wish to serve it with a side salad of arugula with oil and vinegar.

Ingredients:

  • 4 lobster tails, butterflied
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced and divided
  • 6 tbsp butter, divided
  • 1/2 c. heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 2 oz. goat cheese
  • 1 c. Monterrey Jack cheese, grated
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • aluminum foil

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven’s broiler.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat 4 tbsp butter with 4 cloves minced garlic.
  3. Mash the garlic into the melted butter to release some flavor.
  4. Place the lobster tails on a rack over a foil-lined sheet pan.
  5. Strain the butter to remove the garlic solids.
  6. Brush the lobster generously with the strained butter.
  7. Broil lobster for about 13-15 minutes, or until the lobster is cooked (opaque).
  8. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  9. Turn the oven setting down to 400’.
  10. Meanwhile, add the cauliflower florets to a large glass casserole dish.
  11. Once cooled, remove the lobster from the shells and chop into bite-sized pieces.
  12. Scatter over the top of the cauliflower.
  13. Make the cheese sauce by heating 2 tbsp butter with 2 cloves minced garlic in a pan over medium-high heat.
  14. Once the butter is melted, stir in the 2 oz goat cheese, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 c. cream.
  15. Stir until the goat cheese is melted.
  16. Add the 1 c. of Monterrey Jack cheese and stir until melted and incorporated.
  17. Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower/lobster pan.
  18. Bake for about 10 minutes to heat it all the way through before serving.

Tips:

  • We recommend that you grate your own cheese instead of purchasing pre-shredded as those include some form of carb-y starch to prevent sticking. And that’s not how we would want to spend our daily carb allowance!
