No reviews

A luxurious grilled cheese sandwich filled with tender lobster, melted havarti cheese, and fresh arugula, all drizzled with truffle oil for a gourmet twist on the classic sandwich.

  • Total Time: 21 minutes
  • Yield: 2 sandwiches

Ingredients

  • For the Sandwiches:
  • 8 oz cooked lobster meat (see notes for preparation)
  • 4 slices good quality sourdough bread
  • 3 oz dill havarti cheese, shredded
  • 2 tsp truffle oil
  • 4 tbsp butter, softened
  • ½ cup fresh arugula (divided)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lobster: Cut the cooked lobster into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Butter the Bread: Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread and place the buttered side down on a clean surface.
  3. Assemble the Sandwiches: Divide half of the shredded havarti cheese between two slices of bread. Top each slice with half of the lobster meat. Drizzle 1 tsp of truffle oil over each sandwich. Add ½ of the arugula to each sandwich. Top each with the remaining cheese, followed by the second slice of buttered bread.
  4. Toast the Sandwiches: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Toast the sandwiches in the skillet until golden brown on both sides and the cheese is melted (approximately 3 minutes per side). For quicker cheese melting, loosely cover the skillet with aluminum foil (shiny side down).

Notes

  • To Prepare Cooked Lobster: If your lobster isn’t already cooked, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the lobster and cook for about 8 minutes, until firm and pink. Let the lobster cool, then remove the meat from the shell.
  • Cheese Melting Tip: Covering the skillet with aluminum foil helps the cheese melt faster while the bread crisps up.
