  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the Lobster Newburg Sauce

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
  • 2 large egg yolks, beaten
  • 2 tbsp dry sherry or cognac
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

Seafood

  • 3/4 pound cooked lobster meat, broken into chunks

Instructions

  1. Combine Cream and Egg Yolks: In a bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and beaten egg yolks until the mixture is smooth and well blended, ensuring an even consistency for the sauce.
  2. Melt Butter: Place a saucepan over low heat and melt the butter or margarine slowly to prevent browning or burning, preparing the base for your sauce.
  3. Mix Cream Mixture with Butter and Sherry: Stir the cream and egg yolk mixture into the melted butter, then add the dry sherry or cognac, blending all ingredients evenly to incorporate the flavors.
  4. Cook Sauce to Thicken: Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly to avoid curdling, until it thickens slightly, about 5 to 8 minutes. Be careful not to allow the sauce to boil, which could cause the eggs to scramble.
  5. Season the Sauce: Remove the saucepan from heat and season the sauce with salt, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and ground nutmeg, adding warmth and depth to the flavor profile.
  6. Add Lobster Meat: Gently stir in the chunks of cooked lobster meat, coating them evenly with the rich sauce.
  7. Heat Through Gently: Return the saucepan to low heat and cook the lobster and sauce together gently for about 5 minutes until the lobster is heated through without overcooking.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Lobster Newburg hot, ideally over toast points or buttered toast, rice, or pasta, to enjoy this decadent seafood dish.

Notes

  • Use fresh or high-quality cooked lobster for the best flavor and texture.
  • Be sure to cook the sauce gently and avoid boiling to prevent the egg yolks from curdling.
  • Dry sherry can be substituted with cognac or brandy for a slightly different flavor profile.
  • Serve immediately for optimal taste and texture.
  • This dish pairs beautifully with a crisp white wine or champagne.
  • Can be served over toast points, rice, or pasta as desired.
