Lobster Mornay image

This is a simple and delicious recipe- from one of Women's Day Magazines or Workbasket Magazine not sure of it's origin- but the recipe was contributed by Mr. Barra. There use to be a Mr. Barra that lived next door to me in Michigan long ago , but I don't think it was him, he was more of a steak and potato guy, you never know...

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1 pound each whole lobsters, cooked and halved lengthwise, cleaned
1/2 c butter
1/4 c all purpose flour
2 tsp dijon mustard
1 dash(es) ground cloves
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/3 c dry white wine
1 2/3 c warm milk
1/2 c coarsely grated cheddar cheese
salt and white pepper to taste
2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh chives
garnish with panko bread crumbs and drizzle with lemon juice

Steps:

  • 1. Remove meat from lobster shells. Coarsely chop and set aside until later. Place lobster shells, cut side up, in a large baking sheet. Preheat broiler on high, if you want to broil them brown on top..I don't but if you want to.
  • 2. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until foaming. Add the flour and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon or whisk, for 1 to 2 minutes or until mixture bubbles and begins to come away from the side of the pan. Remove from heat. Add the onion powder, clove and mustard.
  • 3. Gradually add the wine, whisking constantly with a until mixture is smooth. Gradually add milk still whisking until smooth and combined. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for 3 to 4 minutes or until sauce boils, thickens and coats the back of a metal spoon. Add the cheese and stir until cheese melts. Remove from heat. Taste and season with salt and white pepper. Stir in the chives and lobster meat.
  • 4. Spoon lobster mixture evenly among the shells.If you want to brown them; sprinkle tops with panko bread crumbs and drizzle with lemon juice- Cook under preheated broiler, about 6 inches from the heat source, for about 4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and place on 2 plates and serve,sprinkle with parsley and serve with a nice salad and lemon rice, if desired.https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/side-rice-side/lemon-rice-with-pineapple-and-corn.html
