Perfect for a summer afternoon or when you’re simply in the mood for a luxury treat. Here’s how to make it from the comfort of your home with ingredients you can find at your local grocery store.
Ingredients:
1 lb fresh lobster meat, cooked and roughly chopped
2 tbsp mayonnaise (light on mayo for that perfect balance)
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 green onions, finely sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 New England-style split-top hot dog buns
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Optional: Sprinkle of paprika or chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
Preparation: Start by ensuring your lobster meat is cooked and roughly chopped. This is the star of the dish, so freshness is key.
Mixing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the lobster meat, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Gently fold in the sliced green onions. Season with salt and pepper according to taste.
Butter & Toast: Brush the outer sides of the split-top hot dog buns with melted butter. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the buns, buttered side down, on the skillet. Toast until they're golden brown, usually 1-2 minutes per side.
Assembly: Once toasted, carefully open each bun and stuff it generously with the lobster mixture.
Garnish & Serve: Optionally, you can sprinkle a dash of paprika or some chopped fresh parsley on top for an added touch of color and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy the taste of New England right at your table!
