Make sure you’ve got a Medium Frying Pan, a Spatula, a Cutting Board, a Knife, a Butter Knife, a Medium Mixing Bowl, Measuring Spoons, and Salad Tongs. It’s also ideal to have a few staples on hand like Butter. Now, let’s get cooking!

GRILLED CHEESE

Start by pre-heating your medium frying pan on medium-low heat.

Take 2 slices of Rosemary Focaccia and place on a cutting board. Using a butter knife, evenly spread the Garlic Aioli on one side of both slices of the Rosemary Focaccia.

Layer the Brie de Meaux on the other side of the Rosemary Focaccia.

Evenly place the Poached Lobster on top of the Brie de Meaux.

Place 2 slices of Crispy Pancetta over the Poached Lobster.

Take the second slice of Bread and place on top of the sandwich (aioli side in).

Repeat steps 2-6 to assemble all 4 Lobster Grilled Cheese sandwiches.

Add 1/2 tablespoon of Butter to your pre-heated medium frying pan. Place Sandwich into the pan two at a time. Sear until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes. Once golden brown, flip your Lobster Grilled Cheese over using a spatula. Sear until golden brown on both sides. Remove from frying pan and allow to rest on a cutting board. Repeat this step until all 4 Lobster Grilled Cheese sandwiches are done.

PEAR SALAD

On a clean cutting board, cut a quarter inch off of the end of the Boston Bibb Lettuce and peel off each individual Lettuce leaf. Rinse under cold water and place on paper towel to dry. Once dry, add the Lettuce Leaves to a medium mixing bowl.

Using the same cutting board, peel and cut Pears into quarters, then cut out the seeds and slice into quarter inch slices. Add to the mixing bowl.

Add Red Onion and Citrus Dressing and mix well with salad tongs. Garnish with Parsley.

PLATING INSTRUCTIONS

Slice the Grilled Cheese on a diagonal in half. Serve with Pear Salad.
