½ tsp salt
salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp finely chopped parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • Carefully remove the lobster flesh out of its shell and chop it into bite-size chunks.

Time 12m

Yield about 2 cups of sauce

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups warmed milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
pinch freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
2 ounces grated cheese, such as Gruyere
Steamed vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower or baby carrots, for accompaniment

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the roux is pale yellow and frothy, about 1 minute. Do not allow the roux to brown. Slowly whisk in the milk and continue to whisk until the sauce thickens and comes to a boil, about 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to a simmer and season with the salt, pepper and nutmeg. Allow to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. This is now called a bechamel sauce, and may be used as is to top any number of dishes.
  • Stir in the cheese and whisk until melted. If the sauce seems to thick, thin with a little milk.
  • The sauce is now called a Mornay Sauce. Pour over steamed vegetables and serve immediately. If not using right away, cool, cover surface with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several days.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lobster meat. Fresh lobster meat has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen lobster meat. If you're using frozen lobster meat, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before using.
  • Make sure the lobster meat is cooked through. Lobster meat should be cooked until it is opaque and firm. Overcooked lobster meat will be tough and chewy.
  • Use a good quality Mornay sauce. A good Mornay sauce should be creamy, cheesy, and flavorful. You can make your own Mornay sauce or use a store-bought sauce.
  • Serve lobster Mornay over your favorite pasta. Lobster Mornay is traditionally served over linguine, but you can also use fettuccine, spaghetti, or any other type of pasta that you like.
  • Garnish lobster Mornay with fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or tarragon, add a pop of color and flavor to lobster Mornay.

Conclusion:

Lobster Mornay is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make lobster Mornay that is sure to impress your guests.
