This creamy mac and cheese swaps traditional lobster for tender lion’s mane mushrooms. Sautéed to golden perfection, the lion’s mane mimics the rich, buttery bite of lobster, pairing deliciously with a velvety four-cheese sauce and finished in the smoker for rich, smoky flavor. It’s a decadent, meat-free take on lobster mac that delivers all the indulgence with a fresh, mushroom-forward twist.
Lion’s mane mushrooms offer a mildly sweet flavor and a tender texture that mimics shellfish like scallops, crab, or lobster. For that reason, they are often turned to as an accompaniment or alternative to seafood. Try lion’s mane in a mock Crab Louie salad or as a pan seared “steak” in your next surf and turf.
