Meat from a 1½-pound cooked lobster (1¼ cups), cut into ½-inch pieces
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons chili sauce
2 tablespoons crème fraîche
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1½ teaspoons minced basil leaves
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 green apples, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Eight 2-inch round soft brioche buns, split
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix the lobster with the mayonnaise, chili, crème fraîche, shallot, basil, lemon juice and zest. Season with salt and white pepper and refrigerate until ready to use.
Cut the peeled apples into quarters, then slice each quarter into four pieces. Melt the butter over medium-high heat, then add brown sugar, followed by the apples. Toss the apples until they are caramelized, then add cinnamon. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Brush the cut side of each roll with olive oil. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Toast the rolls in the skillet, cut side down, until lightly golden, about 1 minute. Transfer the rolls to a work surface. Layer the bottom half of each roll with apples, then spoon about 3 tablespoons of the lobster on top. Close the sliders and serve.
