Description

Directions

• Spread the frozen fries out on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and season with the Old Bay spice and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat and then bake according to the package directions.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan and add the lobster meat. Toss to coat in the butter and heat until warmed through, about 2 minutes. You’re working with cooked lobster meat at this point, so there is no need to cook it further. Keep warm until you are ready to assemble.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Allow the butter to turn golden brown and nutty.
• Add in the garlic and cook for a few seconds or until fragrant. Whisk in the flour and cook the roux for 2 minutes.
• Slowly whisk in the stock and the milk. Stirring frequently, bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes total.
• Once it is thickened, whisk in the cheeses and Old Bay. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Keep warm until you are ready to assemble.
• Pile the hot fries into a baking dish (or heat-proof serving dish). Top with the lobster meat and cheese curds and then pour the cheese sauce over everything. Garnish with fresh scallions or chives and serve immediately.
