Croque Monsieurs
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the bread slices on the baking sheet. Spread a little béchamel on each slice and cover with lobster and cheese. Drizzle with béchamel and season with salt.
- Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until the béchamel is lightly browned and the cheese is melted. Sprinkle with chives, if desired.

Note from Ricardo

To distribute the lobster evenly among the 4 slices of bread, slice the claws in half lengthwise and slice the tail in 16 thin rounds.
