Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 425°F. Spread the frozen fries out in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping once for even browning.

  2. 2

    While the fries cook, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over low heat in a small saucepan, ensuring the butter stays just melted without browning.

  3. 3

    Add the lobster meat to the saucepan and gently warm over low heat for about 2-3 minutes, stirring often so the lobster is evenly coated but not overcooked.

  4. 4

    In a skillet over medium-low heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Place the split brioche buns cut-side down, toasting until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.

  5. 5

    Spoon the warm, butter-drenched lobster meat into the toasted buns. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice, a sprinkle of chives, salt, and black pepper. Plate with hot fries on the side and serve immediately.
