š” Pro Tips
To prevent the macaroni bites from breaking apart, make sure to coat them evenly with the breadcrumb mixture. Also, if using frozen lobster meat, thaw it according to the package instructions before using. For an extra crispy coating, spray the macaroni bites with a small amount of cooking spray before baking.
