    • Lobster Scrambled Eggs

    Why we love this recipe

    Yes, lobster scrambled eggs are comfort food on top of comfort food on top of comfort food. It is the ultimate cure for a bad day, or the ultimate reward for a good one.

    Because lobster doesnโ€™t have to be for a special occasion โ€“ the special occasion can be taking care of you, or someone you love and adore.  And this easy recipe divides one lobster among two happy people, so it doesnโ€™t break the bank either.

    And did I mention that once you have all the ingredients assembled it takes about 15 minutes to whip up? Yes. Extra deliciousness.

    Ready for the best comfort food ever?  Letโ€™s make it!

    Ingredients you need

    Ingredients for lobster scrambled eggs.

    Ingredient notes and substitutions

    • Lobster: You can absolutely buy and cook your own lobster, but I either go to the seafood counter at my supermarket and ask the seafood folks to steam a lobster for me (it takes about 10 minutes) or you can sometimes find already cooked lobster meat in the freezer section. We love the Cozy Harbor lobster for this. Last but not least, if you canโ€™t find lobster, cooked shrimp will be a scrumptious substitute!
    • Cream: You can swap in half and half for the creamโ€ฆor you can leave it out altogether.
    • Scallions: You can substitute chives, or fresh basil or oreganoโ€ฆor if you arenโ€™t an herb person you can leave them out.

    See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities and nutritional information.

    Hereโ€™s how you make this recipe

    Lobster pieces warming in butter in a skillet.

    STEP 1: Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a medium pan over medium high heat and add lobster. Cook for about one minute or until warm. Set aside.

    STEP 4: Remove the eggs immediately from the pan and put them in a bowl โ€“ they will keep cooking even after they are off the heat.

    STEP 5: Fold the lobster ever so gently into the eggs.  Sneak a chunk of lobster for yourself for, you know, testing purposes. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    STEP 6: Divide among two warmed bowls, sprinkling with salt and pepper and chopped scallions or chives.

    Recipe FAQs

    Can I use frozen lobster?

    You can! I like the Cozy Harbor brand, which you can sometimes find in the freezer section. And you can also swap in shrimp!

    What is the difference between using milk and cream?

    Your eggs will have a richer, more substantial texture if you use cream. Milk can make your eggs a little watery. But if you like your eggs made with milk (or with no added liquid at all) you be you!

    Have a question that I didnโ€™t cover?

    Drop it in the comments and I will answer pronto!

    Lobster for breakfast.  Because youโ€™re worth it!

    Want to round out your meal?

    We love us some cream cheese stuffed biscuits to go with these decadent eggs. And if you are in the mood for fruit salad, this festive Mimosa Fruit Salad has your name on it.

    And how about some cream cheese coffee cake to round things out?
