Note
Use cooked lobster meat. You can use fresh lobster tails or claws, or canned lobster meat for convenience. If using canned, be sure to drain it well to prevent the dip from becoming watery.
For best results, shred your own cheddar cheese. Pre-shredded cheese often contains anti-caking agents that can prevent it from melting smoothly.
Serve with sturdy crackers, sliced baguette, or pretzel rods for dipping.
This dip is best served immediately. If you need to keep it warm, place the serving bowl over a double boiler or use a fondue pot, stirring occasionally to prevent the cheese from separating or becoming grainy.
