Description
Classic Lobster Newburg is an elegant seafood dish featuring rich flavors and creamy textures, perfect for special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound cooked lobster meat, chopped
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon sherry or brandy
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 4 slices of buttered toast or puff pastry shells for serving
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream and milk, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sherry or brandy, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
- Slowly add the egg yolk mixture to the skillet, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Gently fold in the chopped lobster meat and heat through for about 2 minutes.
- Serve the Lobster Newburg over buttered toast or in puff pastry shells. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the sauce.
- Substitute shrimp or crab meat for the lobster if desired, or mix seafood for a combination dish.
