- Add in the lobster meat and cook 1 minute or until heated through; Set aside to cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Transfer lobster mixture to a large mixing bowl.
- Add in eggs, mayonnaise, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste; stir to mix well.
- Add 1 cup of bread crumbs to lobster mixture; toss to mix.

- Pour oil into a large nonstick skillet to 1/4 inch depth; heat over medium heat.
- When very hot, add lobster cakes.
- Cook for about 3 minutes per side (for a 1-inch thick cake) or until golden brown on both sides.
- Remove from skillet and drain on paper-towel lined plate.
- Serve warm with your favorite sauce--we like honey mustard sauce.

Easy and delicious. I did add worcestershire sauce, about a tsp. Also added some horseradish sauce about Tbl. then juice of one lime. Used croutons that I put in the food processor as I didn't have breadcrumbs but did have panko which I added to the breadcrumb mixture. Came out great. For the dipping sauce, I used mayo, honey mustard, wasabi, horseradish and fresh lime juice. The measurements are to you liking.
