Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lb cooked lobster meat, chopped
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh chives
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 split-top hot dog buns (New England style, or soft brioche)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, gently combine lobster meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chives, Dijon mustard (if using), salt, and pepper. Do not overmix; you want to preserve the lobster’s texture.
- Spread softened butter evenly on the insides of the split-top buns.
- Toast the buns in a skillet over medium heat, buttered‑side down, until golden brown—about 1–2 minutes.
- Divide the lobster mixture evenly into the toasted buns.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
- For extra flavor, lightly heat the lobster meat in a pan with a touch of butter before tossing with dressing.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of celery leaves or additional chives, if desired.
- Serve with potato chips or a simple green salad for a classic summer meal.
