Equipment
- Small Bowl
- Saucepan
- Spoon or spatula for stirring
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- 2 large egg yolks, beaten
- 2 tbsp dry sherry or cognac
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 3/4 pound cooked lobster meat, broken into chunks
Instructions
- Whisk cream and egg yolks together until smooth.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat.
- Stir in the cream mixture and sherry.
- Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens (about 5-8 minutes), being careful not to let it boil.
- Remove from heat and season with salt, cayenne, and nutmeg.
- Stir in the lobster.
- Return the saucepan to the stove and cook gently over low heat until the lobster mixture is heated through (about 5 minutes).
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Lobster Newburg!
Notes
- When adding nutmeg and cayenne pepper, begin with just a pinch. While more can always be added later, once in, the spices can't be removed.
- If the mixture's flavor is too intense because of too much nutmeg or cayenne, buy enough heavy cream to smooth it out. I had bought a pint instead of a cup of cream, so I used a little more at the end.
- While some versions call for cognac, the original recipe called for sherry. If you're going to be faithful, use sherry; nevertheless, I like cognac in this meal.
