Treat your ingredients with care...

• Lobster — Ensure that the lobster meat is cooked and chopped before starting the recipe. You can either cook the lobster yourself or purchase pre-cooked lobster meat for convenience.

Tips & Tricks

• For added flavor, consider grilling the hot dog buns instead of toasting them on a griddle.
• If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the lobster mixture.
• To make it a more substantial meal, serve the lobster roll hot dog with a side of coleslaw or a fresh green salad.
• If you can't find New England-style hot dog buns, you can substitute with regular hot dog buns or split-top buns.
• For a lighter version, you can use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise in the lobster mixture.

Serving advice

Serve the Massachusetts-Style Lobster Roll Hot Dog immediately after assembling to ensure the bun stays crispy and the lobster remains fresh and flavorful. Pair it with a side of potato chips or french fries for a complete New England experience.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, sprinkle some additional Old Bay seasoning on top of the lobster mixture before garnishing with fresh chives. Serve the lobster roll hot dog on a platter lined with lettuce leaves for an elegant touch.
