Prepare the Lobster

  1. 1

    Butter Poach the Lobster

    In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the lobster meat, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Cook gently for about 5-7 minutes, until the lobster is heated through and infused with butter flavor.

Prepare the Buns and Assemble

    Toast the Brioche Buns

    While the lobster is poaching, toast the brioche buns on a skillet or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 3

    Assemble the Rolls

    Place a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato on the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun. Top with a generous portion of the butter poached lobster. Add a scoop of coleslaw on the side or on top, and close the bun.
