Mainegg\'s Disappearing Lobster Dip :)

reelgem

Mainegg made an amazing lobster dip at the after party in Atlanta. I've been dying to make this ever since she posted the recipe. I figured tonite was as good a time as ever to make it. It went great with a 30 yr. old sherry from Spain. Enjoy the pics, it was delicious!!

Started with some FL lobster tails.....mmmmmmmmmm!


Mixed some softened cream cheese, granulated garlic and cracked black pepper. Then added the chopped green onions, flat leaf parsley, and the lobster.



Baked at 375 until bubbly.



Served with a nice sherry.



If you ever come across this sherry, buy it, you won't regret it. It's very hard to find. It is by far the best I've ever had.



Thanks Julie!! Next up your lobster wontons.

Here's the recipe.

Eggfest Lobster Dip

3.5 pounds fresh lobster meat
3 pounds cream cheese
1 T garlic powder +/-
1/2 T coarse black pepper
1/2 bunch flat leaf parsley chopped
1 bunch green onions chop just the greens
about a 1/4 c pinot grigio (what I happened to be drinking and the box was handy)

OR:

1/2 lb frozen lobster meat chopped coarse
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp coarse
2 T chopped flat leaf parsley
2 T chopped green onions cracked pepper
white wine or milk or cream

Nuke the cream cheese in microwave just till soft stir in garlic powder and pepper. stir in lobster and greens
if it is to stiff add your fav liquid till soft. not to runny it will thin when you heat it. I did direct on a lg till bubbly. I saved out a pound of meat and a few of the greens to spread over the top to garnish.

One of my favs for sure in ATL. I could have eaten the whole pot if you would have let me. :laugh:

How did you miss out on Julies? That's too bad, I have a ton of it left, you're welcome to come and have some tomorrow.
It's so easy and a very impressive dip for guests. You'll have to give it a try. I cooked it with fresh lobster but I was told Julie used pre-cooked.

reelgem

Thanks Randy! I have to agree with you on it being the best thing I tasted in Atlanta.

reelgem

:( Would've loved to have you for dinner and MNF Pat. I made an extra large batch of it just for you and Ernie.

Rolling Egg

Good job on the dip. Very nice presentation!

reelgem

Too funny Susan, I had some on the front of my shirt, would've rather had it land on my shoe.

Julie does fantastic things with lobster Kari. She made lobster wontons that I'm going to try and make on Sunday for 1/2 time. You need to try the recipe, it's so easy and delicious. You just want to eat spoonfulls of it.

reelgem

Count me out of that throwdown Hoss, there's nobody that's going to beat this recipe of Julies. She the lobster dip queen.

Desert Oasis Woman

:laugh: Made ground pork and shrimp potstickers Saturday evening! Your fresh lobster looked fantastic :woohoo: !! Maybe I can score some in Florida in March :silly:
See you and Del there???? Hope so

reelgem

Thanks Michelle, you're welcome here anytime you're in the area. If you find that Sherry anywhere let me know. I'd like to get a case to cellar.

reelgem

This is hands down the best dip I've ever had. You can't stop eating it. I've got to get it out of my house tomorrow, or I'll finish off the whole bowl. It's not something the caridologist would recommend.

reelgem

Thanks, it was fantastic!!

reelgem

I'll be there for sure Kari. Are you and Ku going? Would love to see you. You'll be there right at the end of the lobster season. It goes from around Aug. 6th to March 31st. If Julie isn't making this dip at it, I'd love to.

Hoss

Some how,I knew you'd say that! :laugh: Your's looked AWESOME also!

I feel like I need a coat and tie just looking at this! More class in one post than mine have combined for the whole year!

NoVA Bill

Hi Anne,

Wow that looks great.

BobS

That was a beautiful pile of lobster. You must of been feeding a herd of people and they must of been drinking something in addition to Sherry.

Just for clarification on the recipe, does the lobster go in raw or pre-cooked.

Mainegg

Glad it came out good for you it looks wonderful!! you can make the leftovers into a meal by tossing on some pasta. then you can eat it by the spoon full and not feel as guilty lol

reelgem

Thanks Ross!! They went really well together.

Thanks Beli, it's on my list of things I'm going to cook at the Monterey Eggfest.
