Lobster Thermidor

Cookbook | Recipes | Ingredients | Equipment | Techniques | Cookbook Disambiguation Pages | Recipes Lobster thermidor is a dish created by stuffing an empty lobster tail with sautéed lobster meat that is cooked with butter, a light wine (often sherry), and cream. The resulting sauce is stuffed into a lobster shell then topped with either a cheese, mushrooms or combination of vegetables before being placed under an open flame or broiled. The dish originated in Europe but was popularized in the US in the mid-20th century. Perhaps the most prominent reference to Lobster Thermidor is in the movie Citizen Kane; while never shown, is it used as an example of early 20th century Northeastern haute cuisine. While present in older American cookbooks, the preparation is no longer widely-known. It is related to Lobster Newberg, another lobster tail recipe commonly presented in older Northeastern-themed cookbooks.
