Print Recipe

A quick and indulgent lobster roll recipe featuring pre-cooked lobster meat, toasted brioche buns in brown butter, and a fresh chive crème fraîche spread. Perfect for busy weeknights, ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound pre-cooked lobster meat, roughly chopped
  • 4 brioche buns
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
  • ½ cup crème fraîche (120 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: ¼ cup celery, finely diced
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chive crème fraîche: In a small bowl, stir together the crème fraîche and chopped chives. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate while preparing the lobster.
  2. Mix the lobster filling: In a medium bowl, combine lobster meat, mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add celery and Old Bay seasoning if using. Gently fold to combine without breaking up the lobster. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  3. Brown the butter and toast the brioche buns: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add butter and cook slowly, swirling until golden brown and nutty (3-4 minutes). Add brioche buns cut side down and toast 1-2 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.
  4. Assemble the lobster rolls: Spread chive crème fraîche inside each toasted bun. Pile lobster mixture on top. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not skip browning the butter for best flavor. Handle lobster meat gently to keep texture. Use fresh lemon juice for brightness. Toast buns just before assembling to avoid sogginess. Chive crème fraîche can be made ahead and refrigerated.
