  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise For the creamy dressing.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice Adds freshness.
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard For a bit of tang.
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives or green onions For garnish and flavor.
  • 1 dash Cayenne pepper or hot sauce Optional for some kick.
Buns and Serving
  • 4 pieces split-top New England–style hot dog buns For serving the lobster.
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted To toast the buns.
  • Lettuce leaves Boston or butter lettuce To line the buns.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat dry the cooked lobster meat and cut it into 1-inch chunks.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, chives, salt, and cayenne (if using).
  3. Gently fold the lobster chunks into the dressing until well coated.
Toasting Buns

Assembly

Notes

These rolls are best served fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days. Reheat the buns by toasting them again for added crunch.
