New Brunswick Lobster Casserole image

Our lobster season starts May 1 in the Chaleur Bay region of New Brunswick, Canada. I know it seems a shame to put lobster meat in a casserole, but this is so delicious, and because we often buy 10-20 lbs of fresh lobster right from the fishermen, we often have some left over after we have our first feed. I often use it for a special luncheon with a salad or as an entree with a buffet dinner. I am always asked for the recipe.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons butter, divided
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 cup milk
1 cup light cream
3 cups mushrooms, sliced
¼ cup shredded Swiss cheese
3 cups cooked lobster meat, diced
2 cups soft bread cubes
½ cup fine dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a casserole dish.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour, mustard powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Pour in the milk and cream, bring to a simmer, and cook until thickened and smooth, stirring constantly. Add the mushrooms and cheese, stir until the cheese has melted. Fold in the diced lobster meat and the bread cubes.
  • Pour into prepared casserole dish. Mix the bread crumbs with the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter to moisten. Sprinkle the crumbs over the casserole.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the crumbs have browned, and the casserole is hot; about 30 minutes.
