Lobster Mixture

Method

Prepare Lobster Mixture

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat, mayonnaise, finely chopped celery, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and chopped chives. Stir gently until all ingredients are well mixed.

  2. 2

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Prepare Rolls

  1. 3

    Butter the Rolls

    In a skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the hot dog rolls, cut side down, and toast them until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Assemble the Lobster Rolls

  1. 4

    Fill the Rolls

    Remove the toasted rolls from the skillet. Spoon the lobster mixture generously into each roll.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately with a side of potato chips or a simple salad.
