The Slapfish’s Clobster Grilled Cheese
“Adding rich lobster to an iconic dish like grilled cheese is a no-brainer. After trying it, the lobster almost tasted too rich (who would have thought) so we cut some of the richness with crab, which also adds a sweet flavor and a new texture.”
The Players:
• Lobster
• Crab
• Sourdough bread
• Nutty toasted butter
• Jersey sauce
• Mozzarella
• Cheddar
• Gruyere
