Lobster Grilled Cheese
Lobster grilled cheese is a luxurious touch on a classic grilled cheese sandwich, mixing the rich flavours of lobster meat with melted cheese.
Ingredients
- For the Lobster Filling:
- 1 cup cooked lobster meat chopped (you can use fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley
- For the Grilled Cheese:
- 4 slices of bread sourdough, brioche, or your choice
- 2 cups shredded cheese a mix of sharp cheddar and Gruyère works well
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter for grilling
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the chopped lobster meat, mayonnaise, butter, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix until the lobster is well coated. You can also add chopped herbs for better flavour.
- Lay out two slices of bread. Spread a good amount of lobster mixture on each, then add some shredded cheese. Top with the remaining bread slices.
- Warm a pan over medium flame. Add a tablespoon of butter and allow it melt.
- Put the sandwiches in the pan and cook until the cheese melts and bread turns golden brown, it may take around 3-4 minutes per side. You can press down a bit using a spatula to ensure even cooking.
- Add more butter to the pan if required when flipping the sandwiches.
- Once the cheese is melted and both sides are golden brown, take the sandwiches out from the skillet. Allow them cool a bit and then cut them in half before serving.
