Main Ingredients

  • 2 whole lobsters about 1.5 pounds each
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoon flour
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 pinch salt to taste
  • 1 pinch black pepper to taste

  3. Remove the meat from the shells, chop it into bite-sized pieces, and set aside. Keep the shells for later.
  4. In a saucepan, melt the butter, add the flour, and cook for 2 minutes to make a roux.
  5. Gradually add the white wine and cream, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
  6. Add the mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir in the lobster meat and half of the Gruyère cheese.

  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
