This dish is great not only because of the flavors, but when baking, it forms its own crispy crust!
If you are looking for a healthier alternative, use fat-free evaporated milk, low-moisture Cheddar cheese, and 6 egg whites. It will be a little lighter, visually, but just as delicious.
1
Preheat oven to 325-degrees F. Grease a 9-inch cake or pie tin with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
2
In a large bowl, add milk, ricotta, and eggs, whisking until smooth. Stir in 1/4 cup cheese, lobster meat, potato, salt and black pepper. Pour into prepared pan.
3
Place pan into a roasting pan with enough water to come half-way up the side of the prepared pan. Bake 30-35 minutes, or until firm but it will still slightly jiggle in the middle.
4
Remove from oven, and remove from water bath. Cool to room temperature before serving or chill completely to serve.
