    • 1 medium onion, diced
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup white wine
    • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
    • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
    • 2 cups heavy cream
    • 2 tablespoons brandy
    • 2 cups cooked lobster meat, diced
    • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
    • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
    • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated

    Method

    • To prepare Lobster Thermidor, begin by preheating your oven to 350°F.
    • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened about 5 minutes.
    • Add the flour and stir to combine.
    • Gradually add the white wine, constantly stirring to prevent lumps from forming.
    • Add the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and heavy cream. Simmer until the sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes.
    • Stir in the brandy and cooked lobster meat.
    • Remove from heat and stir in the parsley, cayenne, black pepper, and salt. 
    • Pour the mixture into a baking dish and top with the melted butter, Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs. 
    • Bake for 25 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
