Why do people love brunch? Because you can basically get away with serving anything from steak to pancakes. Earlier this week we ran an Ultimate Brunch video offering up a slew of fun entertaining options like Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding (you will be the star of the party with this one!) and a Raspberry Herb Champagne Cocktail, an elegant way to start off the morning. So, if you're going to serve up these ultimate brunch dishes, then why not add one more to the list? How about...mac and cheese? How about...lobster? How about..lobster mac and cheese? Oh yes. Once again, you will be the star of the party!

This lobster mac and cheese recipe hails from Easy Street at The Sky Lodge in Park City Utah and combines cheesy, creamy goodness with fresh chopped lobster tail. A fantastic, crowd-pleasing spin on the traditional comfort dish, and best part yet, super simple to prepare!

½ teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
