Time 55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups dry white wine
2 sticks unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 3-pound whole Maine lobsters
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
2 Meyer lemons, juiced
2 sprigs fresh tarragon, leaves stripped from the stems and chopped, plus more for garnish
4 brioche rolls, cut into large pieces
4 ounces micro cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Have a large ice water bath standing by.
  • In a shallow saucepan, add the white wine, butter and 2 cups water, along with a pinch of salt. Turn the heat on to medium-high. Once the liquid comes to a low simmer, add the lobsters and cook for about 8 minutes. Carefully remove the lobsters from the water and immediately plunge into the ice water bath; let sit until cool to the touch. Remove the lobster meat from the claws and tails and roughly chop. Keep chilled until ready to use.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, sugar, celery, lemon juice, tarragon, salt and pepper, and stir to thoroughly combine. Add the chopped lobster meat and stir to combine.
  • Place the brioche pieces on a sheet tray and put in the oven to toast, tossing every minute or so to toast evenly, about 5 minutes total.
  • Evenly divide the bread pieces in the bottom of stemless cocktail glasses. Top with the lobster salad, tarragon and micro cilantro.
