Mini Brioche Lobster Rolls

  • ACTIVE:
  • TOTAL TIME: 30 MIN
  • SERVINGS: 12

These rolls, which are a delightful play on the traditional lobster roll, are quite substantial, so one per person is plenty, especially if you're serving additional hors d'oeuvres. Cooked shrimp or lump crab is a fine alternative to lobster.

Our Pairing Suggestion

Rich, tropical-fruited Chardonnay.

Ingredients

  1. 3/4 pound cooked lobster meat, crabmeat or shrimp, coarsely chopped
  2. 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  3. 1 teaspoon chopped tarragon
  4. 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

  7. Snipped chives, for garnish
  1. In a food processor, combine the lobster with the mayonnaise, tarragon and lemon zest and pulse to a chunky paste. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Using a paring knife, cut a 1 1/2-inch-round plug out of the top of each roll, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around. Using a small spoon, carefully hollow out the rolls. Spoon the lobster filling into the rolls, garnish with the chives and serve.
