Classic Lobster Rolls are a cool and delicious summer sandwich!
When it's hot outside, the last thing I want to do is heat up my kitchen by using my stove or oven. I give it as minimal use as possible. So, when lobster went on sale at the grocery store I took advantage and had the store steam them before bringing them home. The hardest part of this job was removing the lobster meat, but it was oh so worth it!
Lobster really is a luxury item in our household and we don't eat it too often. It's way too expensive for me to buy on a regular basis, so it's a real treat when we do get it and I'm more than happy/willing to break all that meat from the shell to have a delicious meal!
I was so excited about getting to eat this Classic Lobster Roll that I completely forgot to take photos of my set up and ingredients! However, I don't think you mind all that much, right?
So, I just have rolled with the punches, sucked it up and just shared more photos of the sandwich. You don't mind though, do you? 🙂
Toasting the New England Style Roll!
To me, it just isn't a Classic Lobster Roll without a toasted New England Style Hot Dog Bun. These split top rolls have the side of the roll cut so you can butter and toast them. This gives them an even richer and more fancy look and flavor!
I did manage to remember to take a pic of the buns toasting on the skillet. This is the only time I used heat in my house for making these Classic Lobster Rolls!
What to serve with Classic Lobster Rolls
These Lobster Rolls are so delicious, you may just decide to eat two and call it finished. However, if you like to have another item on your plate beside a sandwich, then try this light and refreshing Strawberry Rhubarb Salad, or maybe a more fresh garden Cucumber, Tomato, and Basil Salad. A delicious beverage to serve with this would be this sugar-free Rhubarb Lemonade recipe!
How to make this a Keto Recipe
Now that we are low carb in our home, while I may miss my New England Style Roll, I still can enjoy this recipe. Just serve it up in a lettuce cup, or, try toasting a Keto Slider Bun and enjoy the salad as a sandwich still!

Oh, how I wish someone in my house besides me liked lobster! Can you believe it??? I made lobster salad in endive leaves for book club once, and I think I'll have to figure out a way to make some lobster salad ASAP---even if it's just for me!
