Lobster Stuffed Hasselback Ham with Hollandaise Sauce
Ingredients:
- 1 Pit Smoked Compart Duroc Family Farms Ham
- 4 Lobster Tails
- Croix Valley All Meat BBQ Dry Rub
Hollandaise Sauce:
- 4 Egg Yolks
- 1 Tbsp. Lemon Juice
- ½ C Unsalted Butter
- Pinch of Salt
Directions:
- Heat smoker to 350°.
- Cut ham into thick chunks. Cut 3-4 vertical slits down into the chunks, but not all the way through.
- Remove lobster meat from the tails and slice into 1 inch slices.
- Place 1 lobster slice in slits cut into ham.
- Place ham chunks into sheet pan and onto smoker.
- To prepare the hollandaise sauce, whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice together in a bowl vigorously until the mixture is thick and doubles in volume. Put the bowl in a saucepan containing simmering water, making sure the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl. Do not let the eggs get too hot. Slowly add the melted butter and whisk until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and whisk in salt.
- When lobster is firm and has an internal temperature of 140°, remove the ham from the smoker, drizzle with the hollandaise sauce, sprinkle with Croix Valley All Meat Rub, and serve.
