Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz Cooked lobster meat chilled and chopped
  • 2 buns Brioche buns buttery and soft
  • 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise or Greek yogurt for lighter option
  • 1 lemon Lemon zested and juiced
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped chives or parsley fresh herbs
  • 1 tablespoon Butter for toasting buns
  • to taste Salt and pepper for seasoning
  • optional Smoked paprika for depth

Equipment

  • Toaster or skillet for toasting buns
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • spoon or spatula

Method
 

  1. Slice the brioche buns in half and toast them until golden and slightly crispy, either in a toaster or skillet with a bit of butter. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat with mayonnaise, lemon zest, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Gently fold to create a creamy, well-coated filling. Taste and season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of smoked paprika if using.
  3. Spread a small amount of butter on the toasted buns to add richness and help keep them crisp. Place the buns on a plate.
  4. Pile the lobster filling generously into the toasted buns, pressing slightly to mound it high. The filling should be sticky and oozy, spilling slightly over the edges.
  5. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped herbs on top of the lobster filling for freshness and color. Serve immediately with napkins nearby, as the lobster can slip out with each bite.

Notes

For best flavor, serve the lobster roll cold or at room temperature. Adjust seasonings to taste, and enjoy the perfect balance of crunchy bread and tender, briny lobster.
