Lobster Filling

Brioche Rolls

Method

Prepare Lobster Filling

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and chopped lobster meat, mayonnaise, finely chopped celery, lemon juice, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently until all ingredients are well incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Prepare Brioche Rolls

  1. 2

    Butter the Rolls

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. While the butter is melting, slice each brioche roll in half lengthwise. Once melted, place the sliced rolls cut side down in the skillet.

  2. 3

    Griddle the Rolls

    Griddle the rolls for about 2-3 minutes, or until the cut sides are golden brown and crispy. Remove the rolls from the skillet and set aside.

Assemble the Lobster Rolls

  1. 4

    Fill the Rolls

    Take the buttered brioche rolls and generously fill each with the lobster mixture. Ensure each roll is packed with the filling for maximum flavor.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Serve the lobster rolls immediately while the brioche is still warm. Enjoy with a side of fries or a simple salad if desired.
