- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, lime juice, and garlic; set aside.
Cooking

Notes
Lobster Grilled Cheese can be served with a side salad or crispy fries. Consider adding a dipping sauce, like tartar sauce or spicy aioli, for extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator; best within 1-2 days. Reheat in a skillet on low heat to maintain crispiness.
