Method
- 01
Gently fold lobster with mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, chives, salt, and pepper. Keep the pieces large and use only enough mayonnaise to bind.
- 02
Spread the flat exterior sides of the split-top buns with butter.
- 03
Griddle the buns over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden while the center stays soft.
- 04
Fill the warm buns with the chilled lobster mixture. Serve immediately with lemon and drawn butter if desired.
- 05
Tip: For a Connecticut-style roll, omit mayonnaise and warm the lobster gently in drawn butter.
