Mini Brioche Lobster Rolls

• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

3/4 pound cooked lobster meat, crabmeat or shrimp, coarsely chopped

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 teaspoon chopped tarragon

1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

Salt and freshly ground pepper

12 mini brioche or Parker House rolls (about 2 1/2 inches)

Snipped chives, for garnish

Directions

In a food processor, combine the lobster with the mayonnaise, tarragon and lemon zest and pulse to a chunky paste. Season with salt and pepper.

Using a paring knife, cut a 1 1/2-inch-round plug out of the top of each roll, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around. Using a small spoon, carefully hollow out the rolls. Spoon the lobster filling into the rolls, garnish with the chives and serve.
