Lobster Benedict With Fresh Maine Lobster Meat Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Lobster

   If using whole lobster, steam or boil the lobster until cooked through. Remove the meat from the shell and chop into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

2. 2

   Make the Hollandaise Sauce

   In a double boiler, melt the butter. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while whisking until the sauce thickens. Stir in heavy cream and paprika, adjusting seasoning as needed.

3. 3

   Poach the Eggs

   Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl and carefully slide them into the water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set but yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Toast the English Muffins

   Split the English muffins and toast them until golden brown.

5. 5

   Assemble the Dish

   Place half of a toasted English muffin on each plate. Top each muffin half with a generous amount of lobster meat, followed by a poached egg. Drizzle with hollandaise sauce and garnish with chopped chives, salt, and pepper to taste.
