The first time I whipped up these lobster puffs was for a dinner party. They got rave reviews and have become my quick go-to when I want to impress without the fuss.
Needed Ingredients
- Fresh lobster meat: finely chopped to keep that tender seafood bite
- Cream cheese: softened so it mixes up smooth and creamy
- Mayonnaise: to make the filling rich and moist
- Fresh lemon juice: squeezed to brighten up the flavors
- Chopped chives: for a mild onion-like fresh kick
- Cold puff pastry: thawed just enough but still chilled for perfect puffing
