Spoon 1/2 of the mixture into each tail; press gently to pack mixture so it doesn't fall off.

Bake in the preheated oven until meat is opaque and the stuffing is golden brown on top, 10 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the lobster tail should read 145 degrees F (65 degrees C).
