Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb lobster meat (cooked, chopped)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 tbsp dry sherry
- 1 tbsp cognac or brandy
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp ground white pepper
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- 4 toast points or puff pastry shells (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
Add the cooked lobster meat and gently sauté for 2-3 minutes. Remove the lobster from the pan and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and egg yolks until smooth and well combined.
Slowly pour the cream and egg mixture into the saucepan while stirring constantly to avoid curdling. Cook over low heat until the mixture thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the sherry, cognac, paprika, salt, white pepper, and nutmeg. Cook for another minute to allow the flavors to blend.
Return the lobster meat to the pan and gently fold it into the sauce. Cook for 2-3 more minutes, ensuring the lobster is warmed through.
Remove from heat and serve immediately over toast points, puff pastry shells, or rice for an elegant presentation.
