Ingredients
Fresh Lobster Meat
- 2 cups cooked lobster meat, chopped
Brioche Rolls
- 12 mini brioche rolls
Mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
Celery
- 1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
Lemon Juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Chives
- 2 tablespoons chives, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Lobster
Begin by cooking the lobster tails in boiling salted water for about 8-10 minutes until they turn bright red. After they cool, extract the meat and chop it into bite-sized pieces.
- Make the Filling
In a mixing bowl, gently combine the chopped lobster meat, mayonnaise, finely chopped celery, lemon juice, and chives. Stir until well mixed, making sure not to break the lobster meat too much.
- Toast the Rolls
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly butter the brioche rolls. Toast them until golden brown and crisp on both sides, which will bring additional flavor to your rolls.
- Assemble the Rolls
Once the rolls are toasted, spoon the lobster filling generously onto each roll. For consistent flavor and presentation, aim for even amounts in each one.
- Garnish and Serve
Add extra chives or a sprinkle of paprika for a pop of color and serve immediately while they’re warm for the best experience.
Notes
- Use Fresh Lobster: The quality of the lobster meat will significantly impact the taste, so always go for fresh when possible.
- Chill Before Serving: For an alternative serving option, chill the lobster mixture for 30 minutes before assembling for a refreshing bite.
- Controlled Spice: Start with small amounts of lemon and spices; you can always adjust to your taste preference.
- Keep it Simple: Don’t overload the rolls; they should be filled enough while keeping the balance of flavors intact.
- Garnish Smartly: A few sprigs of dill or parsley adds not just flavor but also makes your rolls visually stunning.
