Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds cooked lobster meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup dry sherry
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 slices white bread, crusts removed, toasted and cut into triangles
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add lobster meat and cook for 2 minutes, stirring gently.
- Pour in sherry and cook for 1 minute, allowing alcohol to evaporate.
- In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream, egg yolks, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Reduce heat to low. Slowly pour the cream mixture into the skillet, stirring constantly. Cook until sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Do not boil.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve immediately over toast points.
Tips
- Use fresh or frozen cooked lobster meat; thaw if frozen.
- For a richer sauce, substitute half the cream with half-and-half.
- Lobster Newburg can be served over puff pastry shells or rice instead of toast.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat gently over low heat.
