A warm lobster roll featuring tender lobster meat bathed in chive butter and served on toasted New England-style split-top buns. This recipe offers a quick, comforting, and indulgent seafood sandwich with coastal charm.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound cooked lobster tail or claw meat, roughly chopped
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 4 New England-style hot dog buns, split on the top
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the lobster meat by removing it from the shell and chopping into bite-sized pieces. Keep chilled until ready to use.
  2. Make the chive butter by combining softened unsalted butter with finely chopped fresh chives. Season lightly with salt and pepper and mix well.
  3. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Spread about 1 tablespoon of chive butter on the inside of each bun. Place buns butter-side down in the skillet and toast until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Add the remaining chive butter to the skillet and let it melt gently. Add the lobster meat and toss carefully in the butter to warm through without cooking further, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Spoon the warm, butter-coated lobster into the toasted buns, dividing evenly. Season with extra salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately with optional lemon wedges.

Notes

Keep the heat moderate when melting butter to avoid burning. Toast buns in chive butter for extra flavor. Use fresh lobster meat for best texture. For dairy-free, substitute butter with vegan butter or olive oil infused with garlic and chives. For gluten-free, use gluten-free buns or lettuce wraps.
