Impress Your Guests- Lobster Mornay
October 24th 2007 11:00
If you are really trying to impress, Lobster Mornay is not hard to make and guaranteed to please. A whole cooked lobster will cost 15 or 20 dollars, plus cheese, milk, salad and a few crusty rolls might total 30 dollars. That is only 15 dollars a head for a restaurant quality meal.
Although this famous dish is referred to as Lobster Mornay, a crayfish may be substituted. I have used a 590g Western Rock Lobster which was already cooked. A raw lobster can be used but must be grilled a little longer.
Ingredients
1 Lobster or crayfish
400ml Mornay Sauce (see previous post)
200g grated cheese
1 spring onion
1 pinch salt and pepper
Method
Turn the lobster upside down and cut down the middle using a serrated knife.
Scoop out the innards with a spoon and rinse the cavity with a little water.
Remove the meat from the tail and cut it into large chunks.
Mix in a bowl with warm Mornay Sauce and spoon back into shells.
Sprinkle with shallots (optional) and top with grated cheese.
Cook under grill or in oven for about 10 minutes until meat is hot and cheese is brown.
Serve with salad and crusty bread.
