Brown butter two days in a row? Oops.
I was not planning on posting this today, but then I thought “why the heck not?”.
Two days of brown butter can never be a bad thing, especially when one is sweet and the other is savory. It is kind of perfect actually.
That and like I said yesterday, I have brown butter on the brain. Expect more because I promise it is coming.
I read somewhere in one of my millions of magazines I subscribe to that I let sit in a drawer for weeks upon weeks and then finally quickly flip through when I realize I am a month behind, that lobster is in season in September. To be honest, I really had no idea seafood had seasons. I mean, don’t fish live all year round?
I mean, I know they do, but maybe it is easier to catch them in the warmer months? Yeah, I am sure that has to be it. Right?
Ugh. Who knows, I think I need to do some reading. I feel like I should know this stuff.
Anyway, my point is lobster is in season all September long and that means it is probably going to be on sale (it already is here) and that means it’s time to eat some lobster!
Heck yes.
I can always be down with that.
Especially, when the lobster involves butter. Lobster and butter just go hand in hand. They work together to make each other better.
It’s a beautiful thing.
I used lobster tails for this because one, they are on sale, and two?
Well, I am way too scared to actually go and buy a live lobster, kill it, de-shell it and eat it. Sure, I think I could do it, but I really do not want to. I like lobster tails and they are easy and quick and well – already dead. Plus, I live in Colorado, in a small mountain town and I am pretty sure I would have to go to Denver to find a live one and even then I still think it might be hard.
So yeah, I am sticking with the tails. They never fail me.
The best part is that this dish is really simple.
It’s not like these Brown Butter Lobster Ravioli I made back in February that require a little more time. Although, that time is worth it. Those ravioli are still my all time favorite lobster dish, better than any restaurant. They are amazing and if you have the time and want to make some of the best homemade ravioli than you need to go and make those. Really you do.
But if you are looking for a quicker fix then this is your dish, it’s still totally amazing.
The crispy kale, the bacon, the fontina! It’s all so good and then topping if off with some fresh basil and a generous drizzle of brown butter?
Yeah, it’s pure awesomeness.

Oh and the crispy kale? Yeah, expect a lot more of that too. It too is awesome.
You can do brown butter everyday of the week if it all looks this AMAZING!!! I want this for lunch, dinner, whatever – I just want this!!!
Hehe! Thank you so much, Robyn!
Oh Wow! Tieghan – this dish is like heaven!
I didn’t know seafood had a season either – I was with you in thinking they “lived year long” !!! 🙂
Thanks Shashi!
What great flavors!! This would be a dish i know we would love!
Thank you! Hope you guys give it a try!
1) nothing wrong with multiple posts of brown butter recipes and 2) I totally agree about the live lobster, i could never do it either. This looks amazing.
Thanks Dervia!
Holy. moly. I think you just put all my favorite words into one AMAZING dish, Tieghan! You really know your flavor pairings, and this truly shows it! This meal is so mouthwatering I don’t even know where to begin… Great job!
Oh wow! Thank you!!
Wish I could send you a giant plate full! Actually, I’ll trade you for some of the pumpkin muffins you made! I am still dreaming about them!
Oh holy cannoli, does this ever look good! Perfect for a date night in!
Thank you! It is the perfect date night meal!
Gawd!!! This is INCREDIBLE!! So jealous that you got to eat this for dinner!
Haha! Thanks Steph! Wish I could share some with you!
You made me laugh out loud at this post! Especially with this line, “I mean, don’t fish live all year round?” –so funny. It’s definitely one of those things you don’t think about though!
Apparently they come to the shore to get closer to the warmer waters in the summer/early September! Love this dish, that big fat lobster tail is killing me. So delicious!
Haha! Happy to make you laugh, but really I had no idea! I need to read up on this stuff!
Thanks so much, laura!
I’m pretty sure you could talk about brown butter 7 days in a row and no one would complain. 😉 Gorgeous dish!
Started following you on twitter now. 🙂
Ha, I think you are right!!
Thanks you so much, Tina!! I am so excited to have you as a new twitter follower!
It’s been ages since I have had lobster and this looks incredible!! I should make this for the bf – I’m positive a marriage proposal would follow.. 😉 This is beautiful, comforting and looks so fresh. LOVE me that brown butter, sister!
Oh yeah, this is marriage proposal material! LOL!
Thanks Julia!
Good grief Tieghan–everything you make i want to jump into the pic and eat it with you. Can I come over for dinner? lol
Ha, thanks!! And yes, please, please, please come for dinner!
Oh dear god. Literally just felt my heart skip a beat. This looks amazing!
Haha! Thanks Jamie!
I have to restrain myself from commenting on everything you post because I feel I would become repetitive, but this… I can’t help myself. Lobster is like… my favorite thing ever. Besides all my other favorite thing. This looks incredible.
I’m glad you decided to post this cause it is AMAZING. Can’t go wrong with brown butter and lobster. Wish it was on sale in our area. Not gonna happen.
Oh man, sorry to hear it’s not on sale! But I know what you mean, it is crazy expensive!
Thanks Norma!
Looks amazing! Everything is better with butter and bacon. And angel hair has to be my favorite pasta.
We LOVE angel hair around here. It’s our favorite!
Thanks Melanie!
