Ingredients

Lemon Beurre Blanc:

Lava Sauce:

Directions

  1. Heat the lobster and crab meat.
  2. Spread the bread slices evenly with mayonnaise and toast on a flattop grill. Repeat on reverse side.
  3. Add the American cheese, lobster, crab meat, cabbage, tomato, Lemon Beurre Blanc and shredded cheese to one of the slices and form a sandwich. Toast until the cheese is melted.
  4. To serve, cut the sandwich into four squares and place the exposed ends on top of fanned out cabbage. Using a squeeze bottle, drizzle Lava Sauce diagonally across the top of the sandwich. Sprinkle paprika across the entire plate. Serve with shoestring fries.

Lemon Beurre Blanc:

  1. Combine the shallots, white wine and lemon juice in a non-reactive saucepan over high heat and reduce to 2 tablespoons.
  2. Add the cream to the reduction. Once the liquid bubbles, reduce the heat to low. Add the butter, one cube at a time, whisking first on the heat and then off the heat. Continue whisking butter into the reduction until the mixture is fully emulsified and has reached a rich sauce consistency. Season with salt and white pepper. Store beurre blanc in a thermos until ready to serve.

Lava Sauce:
