Creamy Lobster Bake
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 pound lobster meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 slices bread, crust removed
Instructions
1
Heat the oven to its highest temperature setting, which is 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Next, lightly coat the interior of a 2-quart baking dish with a thin layer of oil or cooking spray.
3
Melt butter in a medium-sized saucepan over the lowest heat setting available.
4
Sauté lobster meat in butter until it undergoes a noticeable color transformation, but avoid overcooking or speeding up the process as this can cause the lobster meat to become tough and unpleasant.
5
Utilize a slotted spoon to carefully extract the lobster meat from the pan and set it aside for later use.
6
Combine flour, dry mustard, salt, and pepper in the same pan used to melt butter.
7
Gradually whisk these dry ingredients into the remaining melted butter in the saucepan, followed by a gradual addition of cream and milk.
8
Continue to cook these ingredients over low heat while stirring constantly, allowing the mixture to thicken and reach a desired consistency within approximately 5 minutes.
9
Return the previously set-aside lobster meat to the saucepan.
10
Tear a piece of bread into small, bite-sized pieces and mix these fragments into the lobster mixture.
11
Pour this completed lobster mixture into the prepared baking dish.
12
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake until it reaches a bubbly, delicately browned state, which should take around 20 to 25 minutes.
