Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add butter. Add the lobster meat and cook, stirring occasionally, until it’s just opaque. Stir in the garlic and turn off the heat.
  2. Place the lobster meat (and any oil/contents of the skillet) in a large bowl. Add the corn, crackers, egg, mustard, yogurt, mayo, tarragon, chives, salt, pepper and pepper flakes. Stir until combined (bringing it together with your hands when necessarily) and form the mixture into 1-inch thick cakes that are about 2 inches in diameter.You can obviously make whatever size you’d like!
  3. Heat the same skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the cakes and cook until deeply golden on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove each cake and place it on a paper towel lined plate. Serve hot with truffle herb mayo!
