Lobster Grilled Cheese

Submitted by Mrs.Jack

"This unique recipe, created by chef Billy Grant, was named one of the top sandwiches in America by Esquire magazine. Billy suggests serving it with onion rings, local corn, and a green salad. This also makes a great appetizer, just cut into 1" squares and secure w/ a party-pick. If you need to substitute the cheese, I would consider fontina or anything you like that isn't too sharp. Enjoy!"

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 4
• Yields: 1 sandwich
• Serves: 1

ingredients

• 2 slices of country white bread, thickly sliced
• 4 ounces chunked fresh lobster meat
• 2 slices havarti cheese (I like the dill-havarti)
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, to butter both sides of the bread

directions

1. Butter both sides of each bread slice and place cheese-lobster-cheese on bread and make a sandwich.
2. Toast the sandwich (on the buttered side) until golden brown on both sides.
3. Place in a 400°F oven for a few minutes until cheese melts.
4. Allow to cool a minute, then enjoy!
5. *All the meat from a 1 1/4-pound lobster—ask your local fish market to steam the lobster and remove the meat for you! If fresh lobster is not available, you can substitute high-quality frozen lobster.

I think it's much better in a panni press
