Lobster BLTs on Potato Rolls
Description
These upgraded BLTs combine tender, sweet lobster meat with smoky, salty bacon, juicy tomatoes, and pillowy potato buns, lightly toasted in bacon drippings.
Ingredients
- 1 pound shucked cooked lobster meat (from 3 [1 1/2-pound] lobsters)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 thick-cut bacon slices, halved crosswise
- 4 Potato Rolls, split
- 4 butter lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato, cored and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
Directions
- Roughly chop lobster meat into about 1-inch pieces. Whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, chives, tarragon, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; fold in lobster meat. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
- Arrange bacon pieces in a single layer in a large cast-iron skillet. Cook over medium, turning occasionally, until crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. Pour bacon drippings into a small heatproof bowl; wipe skillet clean. Brush cut sides of potato rolls lightly with bacon drippings (about 1 teaspoon per roll half). Working in batches, place rolls, cut sides down, in skillet; cook over medium until toasted and golden brown, about 2 minutes.
- Top bottom roll halves evenly with lettuce, tomato slices, lobster mixture, and bacon pieces. Cover with top roll halves. Serve immediately.
