Lobster Thermidor Recipe

This is the easiest Lobster Thermidor recipe that you can find anywhere. Although they say a true thermidor recipe must contain dry mustard for it to be a original recipe and have that very distinctive Thermidor flavor.

But as the original Lobster Thermidor recipe was created in 1894, I'm sure only the finest connoisseur of Lobster thermidor will know that this recipe doesn't have mustard in it.
