Tips for Making the Best Hot Honey Lobster & Mac Biscuit Sliders
The key to these sliders is in the quality of the ingredients. Fresh lobster will always elevate the dish, but if frozen is your only option, make sure it’s thawed and well-drained. When making the mac and cheese, be sure to stir constantly to prevent the sauce from sticking. For the hot honey glaze, adjust the hot sauce to suit your spice tolerance — a little more if you like it fiery, a little less for a milder touch. As my abuela taught me, trust your senses and adjust flavors as you go!
Serving Suggestions and Pairings
These sliders are perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a casual family dinner or a game day snack. For a complete meal, serve them with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad. If you’re hosting a party, pair them with a crisp, chilled white wine or a light, hoppy beer to balance the richness of the sliders. Remember, the best meals are the ones shared with loved ones, evoking the warmth and camaraderie of family gatherings back in Asheville.
Storage and Reheating Tips
If you happen to have leftovers (which is rare in my household!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F and warm the sliders on a baking sheet for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the biscuits soggy. For the best taste and texture, enjoy these sliders fresh from the oven whenever possible.
