Broiled Lobster with Cream

Print Save Recipe
(Homard à la Crème)

SERVES 2

We savored this decadent dish at a small French restaurant in Brittany, but you can just as easily prepare it at home.

1 large lobster
1⁄4 -1⁄2 cup heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground pepper

1. Plunge lobster headfirst into a pot of boiling water for 3 minutes. Remove from pot, drain, and cut in half with a large knife. Crack open the claws.

2. Place lobster halves cut side up in an ovenproof pan and pour cream into the claws and tail. Season with salt and pepper. Grill under a hot broiler until brown and bubbling.
