Ingredients:

• 1 cup cooked lobster meat, chopped

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

• 4 slices of sourdough bread

• 2 tablespoons butter, softened

• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

• 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives (optional)

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Lobster Preparation Instructions: When working with fresh lobster, begin by cooking it by boiling or steaming until the meat achieves an opaque and firm texture. Afterward, carefully extract the meat from the shell and proceed to cut it into conveniently sized pieces for use in recipes.

To commence the cheese preparation, combine the shredded mozzarella with the cheddar cheese in a mixing bowl.

Prepare the Sandwiches:- Apply a light coating of butter onto one side of every bread slice, which will serve as the exterior of the sandwich.- Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the other side of each slice.

Spread a generous amount of the cheese mixture onto the mayonnaise-coated side of two bread slices. Arrange the lobster meat evenly over the cheese layer. Season with a pinch of salt, a dash of pepper, and finely chopped chives if desired. Layer the remaining cheese on top of the lobster. Place the other slices of bread on top, ensuring the buttered side faces outward.

Prepare the Sandwiches: Heat a sizable skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook until the bread turns a golden brown hue and the cheese has thoroughly melted, usually taking around 3 to 4 minutes per side. Gently press down using a spatula to promote uniform cooking and melting.

To present the dish: Detach the sandwiches from the skillet and allow them to cool briefly. Slice them in half and present promptly, possibly accompanied by a serving of tomato soup or a fresh salad. Indulge in your lobster grilled cheese!
