We all know how I feel about bacon, and my love for bacon of course extends into all kinds of BLT sandwich love, but with this latest recipe for lobster BLT sandwiches with brie cheese, I think I may have found the love of my life, BLT-wise. In this sandwich, B stands for both bacon and Brie, and L stands for both lettuce and lobster. And LOVE, because that is how I felt about every creamy, crunchy bite! Ready for the BLT sandwich of your dreams? Let’s make it!
Ingredients are of course important for any recipe, but in this case you want the very very best of all the different parts, because this is an Event Sandwich. I used my beloved Oscar’s bacon, and a lovely, sweet heirloom tomato. I found the creamiest Brie cheese I could find, and made sure it was nice and room temperature soft. Some butter lettuce, a nice plump lemon and (optional but oh so good!) some fragrant fresh thyme leaves.
This easy recipe for lobster BLT sandwiches with brie cheese takes the classic lunchtime favorite to incredible new levels of flavor by adding lobster and creamy brie cheese to the mix! #recipe And of course the lobster – I use one lobster for two sandwiches, and I have it steamed at my supermarket (most markets will do that for you free of charge). The Southern husband shelled it for me, and I tore it up into bite-sized pieces. As for the bread, you can use whatever your favorite is – I picked a nice sourdough – but as you will see, you only need one, because this is a knife and fork open-faced sandwich so that we can pile on all of these amazing ingredients.
