Ingredients
Scale
Lobster Filling
- 1 lb freshly cooked lobster meat
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tbsp chopped chives
Slider Buns
- 12 slider buns (soft and buttery)
- 4 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the sliders to a golden finish.
- Prepare Lobster Mixture: In a medium bowl, gently combine the freshly cooked lobster meat with mayonnaise, finely chopped celery, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and chopped chives, ensuring the lobster is well coated but not mashed.
- Assemble Sliders: Slice the slider buns horizontally, creating a top and bottom half. Evenly distribute the lobster mixture onto the bottom halves of the buns.
- Brush with Butter: Brush the tops of each slider bun with the melted butter, which will create a rich, golden crust during baking.
- Bake Sliders: Arrange all sliders on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the buns turn golden brown and the filling is warm throughout.
- Serve: Remove the sliders from the oven and serve warm. Garnish with additional chives or lemon wedges if desired for an extra zest and freshness.
Notes
- Use freshly cooked lobster meat for the best flavor and texture.
- You can substitute mayonnaise with a light Greek yogurt for a healthier twist.
- Ensure the slider buns are soft to contrast the crispy baked tops.
- Serve immediately after baking to enjoy the sliders warm and fresh.
- Adding a pinch of paprika or cayenne pepper to the lobster mixture can add a subtle kick.
