INGREDIENTS

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  • cannabutter — 2 tablespoons (melted gently for the hollandaise)  [15% DV · Healthy fats]

  • Lobster Tail meat — 2 cups (steamed and chopped)  [35% DV · Protein, Selenium]

  • Poached Eggs — 8 large (soft yolk)  [40% DV · Choline]

  • Brioche Buns — 4 (split and toasted)  [20% DV · Carbohydrates]

  • Truffle Oil — 1 teaspoon (finishing oil)  [2% DV · Flavor aromatics]

  • Egg Yolks — 3 large (for hollandaise base)  [15% DV · Vitamin A]

  • Lemon Juice — 1 tablespoon (freshly squeezed)  [10% DV · Vitamin C]

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  1. Prepare the hollandaise by whisking egg yolks and lemon juice in a heatproof bowl over simmering water until thickened.

     💡 Flow tip: Whisk constantly to prevent curdling for a professional velvet texture.

  2. Slowly drizzle in 2 tbsp of melted cannabutter followed by 4 tbsp of regular melted butter until emulsified.

     💡 Flow tip: Maintain a low temperature to protect the THC potency from degrading.

  3. Fold in the truffle oil and a pinch of salt to the hollandaise; keep warm in a thermos.

     💡 Flow tip: A thermos is a chef's secret for keeping delicate sauces perfect for service.

  4. Lightly sear the lobster meat in a pan with a touch of butter until just warm.

     💡 Flow tip: Avoid overcooking lobster; it should be succulent, not rubbery.

  5. Assemble by placing lobster on toasted brioche, topping with a poached egg, and draping with infused hollandaise.

     💡 Flow tip: Garnish with fresh chives for a pop of color and onion notes.
