Ingredients

  • 12-pack KING’S HAWAIIAN Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls

  • 1 ½ pounds meat from a cooked lobster (1 ¼ cups), cut into ½-inch pieces

  • 2 Tablespoons Mayonnaise

  • 2 Tablespoons crème fraîche

  • 1 Tablespoon minced shallot

  • 1 Tablespoon finely diced dill pickle

  • 2 Tablespoons finely diced celery

  • 1 ½ teaspoons minced tarragon

  • ½ teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper

  • 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature

Directions

  • In a medium bowl, mix the lobster with the mayonnaise, crème fraîche, shallot, pickle, celery, tarragon and lemon zest. Season with salt and white pepper and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Lightly butter the cut side of each KING’S HAWAIIAN roll. Heat a large skillet over moderate heat. Toast the rolls in the skillet, cut side down, until lightly golden, about 1 minute. Transfer the rolls to a work surface. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the lobster salad on the bottom half of each roll. Close the sliders.
  • Serve with Portlandia Pinot Gris. Cheers!
