Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked lobster meat (chopped into small pieces)
- 8 oz Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice (fresh)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp Chives (finely chopped)
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Hot sauce (optional, for extra heat)
- Crackers or toasted bread (for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Old Bay seasoning. Mix well using a hand mixer or a wooden spoon until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the chopped lobster meat, chives, salt, and black pepper. Be gentle to avoid breaking up the lobster pieces too much.
Taste the spread and, if desired, add a dash of hot sauce for some extra heat.
Transfer the mixture to a serving dish or bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Remove from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving, so it's easier to spread.
Serve the lobster spread with an assortment of crackers, toasted baguette slices, or crudités. Enjoy this luxurious appetizer!
