Cajun Lobster Au Gratin
Ingredients:
2 egg yolks
12 fluid ounces heavy cream
1/4 cup butter
1 large yellow onion, minced
1 stalk celery, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded American cheese
1 pound cooked lobster
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 bunch green onions
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly
grease a 9x9 inch-baking dish. In a bowl, whip together the
egg yolks and heavy cream.
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté<br>the onion and celery about 5 minutes. Season with salt,
cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and Creole seasoning. Reduce
heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes, stirring
occasionally, until very tender.
Mix the flour into the saucepan, and cook and stir
continuously for 5 minutes. Mix in the egg yolk mixture.
Stir in the 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese and American cheese until
melted. Remove from heat and fold in the lobster. Transfer
the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until bubbly and
lightly browned. Remove from heat and top with the sharp
Cheddar cheese and green onions. Allow the cheese to melt
before serving.
