Ingredients

6 tablespoons butter , room temperature (divided)
1 teaspoon chili paste
½ cup mascarpone cheese , softened
2 scallions , thinly sliced (white and green parts)
¼ cup diced tomato
4 slices country-style white bread
4 thin slices provolone cheese
½ cup arugula
1 cup cooked lobster , coarsely chopped

Instructions

Prep the chili butter. In small bowl stir together 4 tablespoons butter and chili paste. Set aside.
Prep the mascarpone mixture. In medium bowl stir together the mascarpone, scallions,and tomatoes.
Assemble your sandwiches. Dividing the ingredients evenly between two sandwiches, spread each slice of bread with the mascarpone mixture, top with a slice of provolone, top with arugula and cooked lobster, then finish with another slice of provolone. Place the second piece of bread on top, mascarpone-side down.
Cook the grilled cheese sandwiches. In large nonstick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Place sandwiches in skillet and spread the chili butter over sandwich tops. Cook sandwiches until bottom bread is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully flip sandwiches, pressing down gently. Continue cooking additional 3 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown and filling is warm and melted.
