Recipe type: entree Yield: 2 Prep time: 10-15 mins Cook time: 15-17 mins Total time: 25 mins

A delectable grilled cheese sandwich stuffed with lobster and a rich sauce

Ingredients:

4 oz lobster meat picked (or crab)
1⁄2 C Cucumber – sliced
2 T Mascarpone cheese
1 Ripe tomato – sliced
2 T Butter
1 Lemon – sliced in half
2 T Aged white cheddar – shredded
4 slices High quality sandwich bread



Everything Sauce:

1⁄2 C Mayonnaise
1 T Pickle – chopped
1 t Sriracha
1 T Pickle juice
1 t Ketchup
1 T Tomato juice
1 T Chipotle – minced
1 Lemon – zested and juiced
1 t Honey
1 t Dijon mustard

Directions:

1. 1. Start building the sandwich: Spread the mascarpone cheese evenly over the inside of each piece of bread.
2. Layer the bread bottoms in the following order: cheese, tomato, caramelized onion (it’s ok if it is still warm), tomato, cucumber, lobster and a touch more cheese.
3. Top with the remaining bread.
5. 2. To cook the sandwich: Place half the butter in the pan and heat until melted.
6. Add the sandwich and toast over medium heat (it may take a few minutes on lower heat, but it is well worth the melted crunch).
7. Before you flip the sandwich, add the remaining butter, then flip.
8. Place the entire pan in the oven for 5 minutes.
10. 3. For the Everything Sauce: Combine all the ingredients in a bowl with a whisk and set aside.
12. 4. To serve: Slice the sandwich in half and serve alongside the everything sauce for dipping. Squeeze the lemon juice over the sandwich at the last minute to add a touch of acid.
13. For a messier, sloppier, finger-licking good time, drizzle the sauce right over the sandwich. Garnish with fresh dill sprigs.
