Mini Lobster Rolls

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups cooked lobster meat (from 4 boiled 1-pound lobsters), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, (optional)
  • 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) salted butter
  • 8 top-split hot dog buns - Puff pastry?
  • Caviar Garnish -- optional

Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine lobster, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chives, salt, and Old Bay, and cayenne if desired, in a small bowl.

2. Heat butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, toast buns until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side, transferring to a paper-towel-lined plate as you work. Fill each bun with 1/4 cup lobster salad.
