Description
This lobster grilled cheese is rich, cheesy, and absolutely decadent. Fresh lobster meat is mixed with creamy cheese, a touch of lemon, and layered between buttery slices of bread. Toasted to golden perfection, it’s the ultimate seafood twist on a classic grilled cheese.
Ingredients
-
4 slices thick-cut sourdough or artisan bread
-
2 tbsp butter, softened
-
1 cup cooked lobster meat, chopped (claw and tail meat work best)
-
1 tbsp mayonnaise
-
1 tsp lemon juice
-
1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning (optional)
-
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-
1/2 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
-
1/4 cup shredded Gruyère or fontina cheese (for extra melt and flavor)
-
Pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
-
Mix Lobster Filling: In a small bowl, combine chopped lobster meat, mayo, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning (if using), salt, and pepper.
-
Assemble Sandwich: Butter one side of each bread slice. On the non-buttered side of two slices, layer a mix of the cheeses, then top with the lobster mixture. Add more cheese on top of the lobster, then cover with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side out.
-
Grill: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.
-
Serve: Slice in half and enjoy warm with a side of chips, fries, or a small salad.
Notes
-
Use fresh lobster meat for best flavor, but good-quality frozen works too.
-
Don’t skip the lemon—it brightens the rich flavor.
-
Want it extra gooey? Add a bit of cream cheese or a splash of heavy cream to the lobster mixture.
-
Works great with brioche or Texas toast too.
