Ingredients:

  • 1 pound cooked lobster meat, chopped (about 450g)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (60ml)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (15ml)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or scallions
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (5ml)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 New England-style hot dog buns (preferably split-top)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (30g)
  • Optional: Leaf lettuce for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Add lobster and cook for 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, remove from pot, cool, and chop meat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped lobster meat with mayonnaise, lemon juice, chives, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to combine; taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spread softened butter on each side of the hot dog buns. Toast buns in the skillet until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  4. Remove lobster filling from the fridge. Fill each toasted bun with a generous scoop of lobster mixture. Optional: Add lettuce for a fresh crunch.
