Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Remove the lobster from shells. Rough chop lobster.

Grate Cheeses. (NOTE I have tried this recipe with Swiss cheese rather than Gruyere and it holds no comparison. It is just not as good.)
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl with the mayonnaise, and the Duxelles.

Roll out puff pastry dough on a lightly floured board to approximately a 9″ x 12″ rectangle. Cut into the desired shape. Use a 3-4″ round cookie cutter for circles or half moons. Cut 3″ squares for ‘puffs’ or turnover.

Fill with lobster filling, pinch edges with finger or a fork to seal edges.

Mix 1 tablespoon water and 1 whisked egg together and brush on top of pastries.

Bake for 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of your Lobsteries, until golden brown.
