LOBSTER MORNAY

Steps:

• Carefully remove the lobster flesh out of its shell and chop it into bite-size chunks.
• In a saucepan or frypan melt the butter on medium heat, add in the garlic and for a minute or until fragrant but do not let the garlic burn. Add in the flour, cook and stir quickly for a minute. Pour in the wine and half of the milk and stir quickly, add in the rest of the milk and continue to stir until the mixture looks smooth. Don't worry if it looks lumpy in the beginning as it will eventually smooth out, just keep stirring.
• Add in the dijon mustard (if using), 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese and salt to the mixture, cook and stir until the cheese has melted. Taste the sauce and add more salt and pepper if needed, remove the pan from the heat. Preheat the grill (broil) to high.
• Add the lobster into the mornay sauce and gently mix until combined. Spoon the lobster flesh and mornay sauce back into the shell and top it with the remaining cheese. Grill (broil) for 5 minutes or until cheese has melted into a golden brown colour. Garnish with chopped parsley.
