Hot Lobster Dip recipe
This Hot Lobster Dip recipe is cheesy and easy to make. It’s a great dip to serve to a large crowd think Christmas, Thanksgiving or Game day! Best served with bread or crackers and eaten the day of when it’s cheesy and warm.
Your probably familiar with HOT CRAB DIP! But if you have never tried HOT LOBSTER DIP then you are in for a tasty dip with this one too.
To make this dip quick and easy, I highly recommending buy your Lobster frozen from the can. You can find this in almost every seafood section as seen below!
Allow it to defrost then squeeze out any excess water and wulla you have a lot of fresh lobster meat ready in no time. With out all the hassle of cooking and deshelling a lobster.
You can use fresh lobster too for this recipe if desired.
WHAT TYPE OF CHEESE FOR LOBSTER DIP
You can use cheddar or rather anything on hand! I like to use Gruyere cheese most as it has a depth of flavors. I would only say, stay clear of cheese like Mozzarella or Swiss.
HOW TO MAKE HOT LOBSTER DIP
- Open your can of defrosted but once frozen lobster meat, strain out half of the liquid and add the remaining to a frying pan
- Meanwhile, in the frying pan add in olive oil and butter to melt
- Toss in the diced celery, shallot, garlic

- In a large bowl start to fold in all of your other ingredients together such as sour cream, mayo, mustard and softened cream cheese in a large bowl then set aside
- Toss in the cream cheese / mayo mixture and cheese, breadcrumbs and combine “save some of the cheese to top of the dish before baking”
- Spoon this all into a oven safe baking dish
- And top with more cheese and some parmesan cheese
- and bake a 350 f for 30 minutes
- Serve with a fresh sliced baguette or crackers
- Enjoy my friends!
