Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the Lobster: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobster tails and cook for about 6–8 minutes until shells are bright red. Chop lobster meat into bite-sized chunks once cooled.
  2. Toast the Brioche: Slice brioche buns in half and heat a skillet with butter. Toast each half for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Keep warm.
  3. Poach the Eggs: In a saucepan of gently simmering water, add vinegar. Crack eggs into small bowls and slide into water. Poach for 3–4 minutes until whites are set. Drain excess water.
  4. Make the Hollandaise: Whisk egg yolks and lemon juice in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Whisk for 3–5 minutes until thickened. Gradually add melted butter and Cajun seasoning.
  5. Assemble the Dish: Place a toasted brioche half on each plate, top with lobster meat and poached egg, then drizzle with hollandaise.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with chives and cayenne pepper if desired. Serve immediately.
