  9. The casting is from Croustades from Waitrose. (You can pop the croustades into the oven for 3 minutes for extra crispy) I served it cold this time.

Cooking:

  1. Boiled the lobster claw 5-8 minutes – depends how big for your lobster. 🦞 Removed the shelf and picked out the claw meat, put a bit salt and pepper for seasoning.
  2. Put tiny butter to fry on the pan, put the chopped mushroom into the frying pan, put 2 tea spoon double cream in, and season with salt and pepper, once cooked, put aside.
  3. Put all the mashed avocado mashed into every croustade, put some lobster meat, mushroom, fried chicken and salmon sashimi into the croustade.
  4. Lobster meat I put some lime zest, put some cheddar inside the mushroom with lemon thyme; put the cucumber for the fried chicken, put some tiny Mayo and sesame into sashimi.

You can put and create anything that you like to eat for a tiny canapés. The total time was around 30m.
