Kennebunkport Lobster Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Ingredients
4-6 tablespoons (1/2 to 3/4 stick) butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon chili paste
1/2 cup (4 ounces) Wisconsin Mascarpone Cheese, softened
2 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts)
1/4 cup tomatoes, small dice
4 slices country-style white bread
4 thin slices Wisconsin Provolone Cheese
1/2 cup arugula
1 cup cooked Maine lobster, coarsely copped
Instructions
- In small bowl stir together butter and chili paste. Set aside. In medium bowl stir together Wisconsin Mascarpone Cheese, scallions and tomatoes. Spread Mascarpone mixture over each bread slice, evenly dividing.
- Top Mascarpone on 2 slices with 2 Provolone slices followed by arugula, evenly dividing. Arrange lobster in even layer over arugula, then top with remaining Provolone slices followed by remaining bread slices, Mascarpone-side-down.
- In large nonstick skillet, melt 2-3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Place sandwiches in skillet and spread remaining butter over sandwich tops. Cook sandwiches until bottom bread is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully flip sandwiches, pressing down gently. Continue cooking additional 3 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown and filling is warm and melted.
