Preheat the oven to 180°C. On a cutting board, use a knife to remove the meat from the lobster tail and cut it into medium pieces. Reserve the lobster shell. In a bowl, add the lobster, olive oil, shallot, garlic, salt, and pepper, and mix until all ingredients are incorporated. Set aside. For the béchamel sauce, in a small pot over medium heat, melt the butter, add the flour, and using a wooden spoon, stir until you have a homogeneous mixture, cook until it changes color and gradually add the milk. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat, cooking for about 10 minutes while stirring, until thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add the parmesan cheese and cheddar cheese, and using a whisk, stir until melted and set aside. In a skillet, melt the butter and sauté the onion, add the lobster, and cook for a couple of minutes, flambé with cognac and add the white wine, then add the mushrooms, the béchamel sauce, and Jacobs® coffee, using a spoon to mix until fully integrated. On a baking tray, place the lobster shells and fill them with the previously made preparation, add a little parmesan cheese and bake until gratinated and golden. On a plate, place the stuffed shells and decorate with crushed coffee beans and enjoy.
