Method

Spread the cut side of the buns with 10g of the butter, then toast, buttered-side down, in a large frying pan over a medium heat for 5-6 minutes. Spread the uncooked side of the buns with 10g butter, then turn and toast for 5-6 minutes and set aside.
Melt the remaining 80g butter in a large saucepan, then stir in the lobster meat and chives. Heat until the butter sizzles and the lobster is hot. Season, then fill the toasted rolls and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.
