Preparation Instructions
Prepare the Brown Butter Aioli
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.
Make the Aioli
In a bowl, combine the brown butter, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined. Stir in the chopped chives and set aside.
Prepare the Lobster
If using whole lobster, cook the lobster in boiling salted water for about 8-10 minutes, then remove from the pot and cool. Remove the meat from the shells and chop into bite-sized pieces. If using pre-cooked lobster, simply chop the meat.
Combine Lobster with Aioli
In a large bowl, gently combine the lobster meat with the brown butter aioli. Add more salt and pepper to taste if necessary.
Assemble the Lobster Rolls
Fill each toasted challah roll generously with the lobster mixture. Optionally, garnish with additional chives.
Serve
Serve the lobster rolls immediately with a side of chips or salad.
