Lobster Mac and Cheese with Creamy Gruyère Sauce Recipe
Lobster mac and cheese with creamy Gruyère sauce, but make it vegan, darling—because decadence doesn’t require shellfish or dairy.
Tender pasta curls soak up rich, velvety Gruyère-style sauce that tastes indulgent enough to impress your snobbiest dinner guest.
Vegan lobster (yes, it’s a thing) brings ocean-kissed flavor without the guilt or claws.
Golden breadcrumbs sprinkle over the top, baking into crunchy, dramatic perfection.
This dish screams comfort, luxury, and sass—basically the cashmere sweater of dinners, but edible.
