Lobster Grilled Cheese
By: Block Island’s East Light Delights
Ingredients:
2 slices thick cut sourdough bread (avoid the artisan type. It’s too crusty. You may as well sandblast the roof of your mouth. You want a soft sourdough

3-4 strips of good quality bacon: go for applewood smoked (you won’t regret it!)
Tomato slices
Cooked Lobster – as much as you want!
1/4 cup of butter that is then clarified best to melt it and put it in a small container and cool until it hardens, then just lift the solid off the top.
2 Tablespoons of butter (1 for each side of the bread before grilling. Never skimp on the butter. Coat every surface of the sourdough. Then go back and do it again. Carmelized butter is what makes this so fantastic on the outside)
