“Use fresh lobster if available, but 2 (6 ounce) cans of lobster may be used instead. This recipe is rich and delicious. If you do not like spicy food, use paprika in place of cayenne pepper. Serve hot, over buttered toast slices.” - by PATTY5

1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup butter or margarine
2 tablespoons dry sherry or madeira
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch ground nutmeg
3/4 pound cooked lobster meat, broken into chunks

"Excellent, and a keeper! I did change the procedure a bit by adding the cayenne pepper to the melted butter. I then added the meat and the shell, covered to steam whilel I prepared other ingredients...." See more This step added flavor directly to the lobster and gain addition flavor from the shell. Remove meat, keeping warm and discard the shell, proceed with recipe."

"Absolutely brilliant. As I live on the East Coast of course I used fresh lobster. Also added a little flour in lieu of egg yolks because of family health concerns; otherwise rich but delicious. Not a ..." See moreweekly choice, but certainly for special occasions."
