(Serves 6)

4 tablespoons butter
¼ cup flour, all purpose
1 cup heavy (whipping) cream
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons celery, diced
1 tablespoon onion, grated
1 tablespoon pimento, chopped
¾ cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 pound Maine lobster meat

Preheat oven to 350°. Butter a 6 cup casserole dish. In a sauce pan melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook stirring constantly for 2 to 3 minutes. Be careful not to brown the flour. Remove from the heat and slowly whisk in the cream and milk. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, celery, onion and pimento. Add ½ cup of the cheese and the lobster meat, mix well. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and top with the remaining ¼ cup cheese. Bake until the cheese is lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
