Ingredients
- 2/3 c . chunk lobster, cooked
- 1/3 c . gruyere , grated
- 1/3 c . sharp cheddar
- 1/4 c . mayonnaise
- 2 Tab chopped Chives
- 2 package puff pastry sheets
- 1 Tbsp . water
- 1 egg
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.
