Lobster rolls are an East Coast appetizer that could easily double as a main -- succulent lobster is served up in a creamy sauce and embedded within a flavorful brioche bun.

Notes
To cook the lobster, I sauté it in a skillet with a little butter. Be sure to drain off the liquid before mixing it into your mayonnaise mix.
You should get about 3-4 ounces of flesh from a one-pound lobster.
Brioche buns are a bit sweeter and more like a cross between a pastry and bread than regular rolls. Because of this, they contain more butter, which combines well with the lobster.
