Preparation

1. Lobster​

Cut the meat into neat bite-size pieces (avoid shredding). Season lightly.​


2. Dressing​

Mix mayonnaise, crème fraîche (or yogurt), Dijon, lemon zest and juice, herbs, espelette, and (optional) pink peppercorn.​


3. Combine​

Fold lobster with celery (and shallot). Add just enough dressing to coat while keeping the lobster defined. Chill 10 minutes.​


4. Buns​

Butter and toast the buns gently until lightly golden, still soft inside.​


5. Plating​

Fill each bun with the lobster mixture. Finish with dill fronds and a fine zest of lemon.​

A refined pairing with Brut Rosé

Brut Rosé brings roundness and red-berry nuances that match the sweetness of lobster, while its freshness keeps the citrus dressing bright and the finish clean. Celery adds crunch, espelette gives gentle lift, and fine herbs tie the aromatics together without heaviness.
