2½ cups milk
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon bottled capers, drained

1. Remove lobster meat from shells; cut into bite-size chunks. Cut artichoke hearts in half; gently toss with lobster. Set aside.

7. Spoon into 4 to 6 individual casseroles, or a shallow, 2-quart casserole.
8. Put mashed potatoes into pastry bag, using a rosette tip. Pipe potato around edge of each casserole.
9. Run casseroles under broiler 2 to 3 minutes, or just until potatoes are nicely browned. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
