Cheeca Lodge’s Signature Lobster Grilled Cheese
For this grilled cheese recipe, which serves four, mix 2 Lbs Cooked Maine Lobster Claw & Knuckle Meat with 4 oz Creole Mustard Remoulade and mix till all ingredients are incorporated. Add salt and pepper to taste. Toast eight slices of buttered sourdough bread preferably on a flat top, and then add 2 slices of brie cheese or enough to cover one slice of the bread. Add 8oz of the lobster salad on the other slice and place under the salamander/broiler until the cheese begins to soften. Place the cheese end on top of the lobster then slice in half. Here are some extra ingredients to add to your remoulade if you're feeling zesty!! 1 gal Mayo, ½ tub Sour Cream, 3 cups Creole Mustard, 3 Tbs Sriracha, 1 cup Sweet Pickle Relish, Zest/juice from 5 Lemons, Zest/Juice from 3 Limes, 1 cup Chives (finely chopped), 8 dashes Worcestershire, cup Capers (chopped)
For the Creole Mustard Remoulade, combine 1 cup mayo, 2 tablespoons grainy or Creole mustard, 1 clove of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon creamed horseradish, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley in a small bowl. Refrigerate until needed (I like to let the flavors sit for a while, but you can serve it immediately).
Finally, for the Key Lime Cilantro Aioli Recipe, combine 1/3 cup fresh chopped cilantro, 1 Key lime's juice and zest, 1-3 drops of hot pepper sauce, depending on preference, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 3/4 cup mayonnaise, and 1 large clove of garlic in a small food processor (or blender) and mix until blended.
