Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz cooked, chilled fresh lobster meat, chopped into bite-sized chunks
- 1/3 cup high-quality mayonnaise
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 4 soft, split-top buns
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives or parsley
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Lobster Meat: Start with cooked lobster, ideally freshly boiled or steamed. Carefully remove the meat from the shell and chop it into bite-sized chunks. Keep the lobster meat chilled to maintain freshness until assembly.
- Mix Butter and Mayo: Gently melt unsalted butter and whisk it into mayonnaise until the mixture is smooth and slightly fluffy, creating a rich and creamy sauce.
- Combine Lobster with Sauce: Gently fold the lobster meat into the butter-mayo mixture, coating each piece without breaking up the lobster chunks.
- Toast the Buns: Lightly butter the insides of the split-top buns and toast them on a griddle or skillet until golden and slightly crisp, adding a subtle buttery crunch.
- Assemble and Garnish: Generously fill each toasted bun with the lobster mixture. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of chopped chives or parsley for color and brightness.
Notes
- Use fresh or freshly cooked lobster meat for the best flavor and texture.
- Fold the mixture gently to keep lobster chunks intact and appealing.
- Choose high-quality unsalted butter for richness without excess salt.
- Keep the lobster mixture chilled before serving for optimal taste and texture.
- Toast buns well to prevent sogginess and add a pleasant crunch.
