headfirst, into boiling water. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from pot
and drain well. Remove claws and legs, leaving body intact. Remove flesh from
claws and legs, and set aside. Cut thin undershell from tail with shears and
gently remove flesh from tail shell. Cut flesh to large dice and combine with
flesh from claws. Wash shells well and drain. Heat butter in a saucepan. Whisk
in flour, salt and nutmeg. Heat and stir until bubbly. Whisk in half and half

onto a broiler pan and fill with lobster mixture. Top with grated cheddar
cheese. Place in broiler briefly to melt cheese and brown lightly. Remove to a
