Maine: Lobster Puffs

Maine elevates Thanksgiving with the indulgence of lobster puff pastries, a dish that celebrates the state’s coastal culture. These flaky pastries are filled with rich, buttery lobster meat mixed with cream cheese or a delicate béchamel sauce, creating a luxurious appetizer or side. Perfectly crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside, they bring a touch of elegance and Maine’s signature seafood flair to the holiday table.
