Ingredients

• 1 cup Lobster meat, cooked and diced
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Half-and-half
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
• 1 loaf French bread or sourdough bread, cubed for dipping

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.

Step 3

Gradually add the half-and-half, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and add the cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and cream cheese. Stir until all the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Stir in the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasonings to taste, if needed.

Step 6

Gently fold in the chunks of cooked lobster, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.

Step 7

Transfer the fondue to a serving dish or a warmed fondue pot to keep it melty and warm.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with cubed bread for dipping.
