Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked lobster meat
- 2 tablespoons Salted butter
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 4 pieces Sourdough bread slices
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Chives (optional, finely chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cooked lobster meat, mayonnaise, salt, black pepper, and chopped chives (if using). Mix gently to coat the lobster evenly and set aside.
Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. These will be the outer sides of the sandwich during grilling.
On the unbuttered side of two bread slices, layer 1/4 cup of Gruyère cheese and 1/4 cup of Cheddar cheese. Spread half of the lobster mixture evenly on top of the cheese layers.
Add another 1/4 cup each of Gruyère and Cheddar cheese on top of the lobster mixture. Place the remaining slices of bread on top, buttered side facing out.
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Once hot, carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet.
Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and gooey.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes. Slice in half and serve warm.
