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 didn't cover?

Drop it in the comments and I will answer pronto!

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

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.
Whisk eggs and cream until totally combined.
Heat remaining tablespoon of butter in same skillet over medium heat. Add eggs to skillet and stir briskly and constantly until soft curds form. Remove immediately – they will keep cooking even after they are off the heat.
Fold lobster into the eggs. Divide among two warmed bowls, sprinkling with salt and pepper and chopped scallions or chives.

Notes

- 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 can’t find lobster, cooked shrimp will be a scrumptious substitute!

- Cream: You can swap in half and half for the cream…or you can leave it out altogether.

- Scallions: You can substitute chives, or fresh basil or oregano…or if you aren’t an herb person you can leave them out.
