Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine the Atlantic brand Newburgh sauce with medium cream and heat over medium heat until well blended and at desired consistency.
- Add chunked lobster meat to the sauce and stir gently to coat.
- Spoon the lobster and sauce mixture over cooked Pepperidge Farm patty shells and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For an even richer flavor, consider adding a splash of sherry or white wine to the sauce. If fresh lobster isn't available, high-quality canned lobster meat can be a good substitute. Ensure the sauce doesn’t boil after adding the cream to avoid curdling. For a different texture, try incorporating sautéed mushrooms or spinach into the mixture for added depth, similar to what you might find in Baked Crabmeat Dip.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the lobster Newburgh over the puff pastry shells immediately for the best texture. Pair with a simple green salad or steamed asparagus for a fresh contrast. A glass of crisp white wine, like Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc, complements this dish beautifully. For a delightful appetizer, consider serving alongside Broiled Crab Puffs for an impressive seafood spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, gently warm in a saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently, until heated through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the lobster tough. If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of cream or broth to loosen it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen lobster meat instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen lobster meat as a convenient alternative. Be sure to thaw it completely in the refrigerator before use. This will help maintain its texture and flavor. Just make sure to drain any excess moisture before adding it to the sauce.
What can I substitute for Newburgh sauce?
If you don't have Newburgh sauce, you can create a similar base by combining a white sauce with a bit of tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings. This will give you a comparable flavor profile for your lobster dish.
Is this recipe suitable for a crowd?
Absolutely! This recipe can be easily scaled up by increasing the quantities of lobster meat and sauce. Consider serving it in a large baking dish to make it easier for guests to help themselves. Just ensure you have enough puff pastry shells for everyone.
