Let’s face it we all have those moments. What the hell am I going to eat today? Your heart is saying cheese, but your brain is saying what about sandwich? If this is you, please know there is a solution. Make a lobster grilled cheese sandwich. Look at it this way, you are satisfying your urge for cheese and your sensibility but then you’re stepping up your food game by throwing some lobster in your sandwich.
Ingredients
- 4-6 tablespoons (1/2 to ¾ stick) butter, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon chili paste
- ½ cup (4 ounces) Wisconsin Mascarpone Cheese, softened
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts)
- ¼ cup tomatoes, small dice
- 4 slices country-style white bread
- 4 thin slices Wisconsin Provolone Cheese
- ½ cup arugula
- 1 cup cooked Maine lobster, coarsely copped
Directions
- In small bowl stir together butter and chili paste. Set aside. In medium bowl stir together Wisconsin Mascarpone Cheese, scallions and tomatoes. Spread Mascarpone mixture over each bread slice, evenly dividing.
- Top Mascarpone on 2 slices with 2 Provolone slices followed by arugula, evenly dividing. Arrange lobster in even layer over arugula, then top with remaining Provolone slices followed by remaining bread slices, Mascarpone-side-down.
- In large nonstick skillet, melt 2-3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Place sandwiches in skillet and spread remaining butter over sandwich tops. Cook sandwiches until bottom bread is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully flip sandwiches, pressing down gently. Continue cooking additional 3 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown and filling is warm and melted.
