Season Lobster: Mix salt, pepper, oregano, and celery salt in a bowl. Toss with lobster meat until evenly coated.

Butter Bread: Brush one side of each bread slice with melted butter.

Notes
Avoid overfilling; let the lobster and cheese shine.
Press gently with a spatula while grilling for even browning.
Swap Cooper cheese with white cheddar or provolone if unavailable.
A touch of lemon aioli or Dijon adds brightness and zip.
