Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Boil the lobster or use a pre-cooked one. Using a very sharp knife, cut the lobster in half lengthwise, remove the meat from the tail and body. Remove all remaining innards without damaging the shell. Cut the meat into 2 cm pieces, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate.
Step 2
Heat 60 grams of butter in a pan, add the chopped green onions and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the flour and mustard and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and gradually stir in the wine and milk. Return to heat and bring to a boil; cook until the mixture thickens. Reduce the heat and simmer for another minute. Add the cream, parsley, and lobster meat, season with salt and pepper. Simmer on low heat until the meat is heated through.
Step 3
Transfer the mixture into the two halves of the shell, sprinkle with grated cheese, and top with pieces of the remaining butter. Place under the broiler for 2 minutes until browned. Serve with a green salad and lemon wedges.
