Bobby Flay's Lobster Club with Crispy Serrano Ham and Watercress image

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup pure olive oil
8 thin slices Serrano ham
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
Large pinch of saffron threads
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon honey
2 cloves garlic, mashed to a paste
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup finely diced celery
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
1 1/2 pounds fresh cooked lobster meat, chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves
8 slices brioche, preferably chipotle brioche, lightly toasted
2 bunches fresh watercress

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over high heat until it begins to shimmer. Carefully add 4 slices of the ham and cook until crispy on both sides, about 40 seconds per side. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining ham.
  • Bring the vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan, add the saffron, remove from the heat, and let steep for 10 minutes. Strain, and let cool.
  • Whisk the mayonnaise, honey, vinegar, and garlic together in a large bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Add the celery, onion, and lobster meat, and gently fold to combine. Add the tarragon, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Top 4 slices of the bread with the lobster salad, crispy Serrano ham, and watercress. Top the sandwiches with the remaining slices of bread.
