Heat the butter in a pan, stir in the flour and gradually blend in the stock or milk.
Bring to the boil and stir briskly as the sauce thickens to a binding consistency (a panada).
Remove the pan from the heat and blend in the lobster flesh.
Separate the eggs and beat the yolks into the other ingredients.
Season to taste.
Whisk the egg whites until they stand in soft peaks and fold into the other ingredients.
