These Monte Cristo Sliders are a delicious twist on the classic sandwich, featuring layers of ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese nestled in soft Hawaiian rolls, brushed with a buttery egg mixture, and baked until golden. Perfect for a crowd, they combine sweet and savory flavors with an optional dusting of powdered sugar and jam on the side for dipping.

Ingredients

Scale

Sandwiches

  • 12 Hawaiian rolls
  • 12 slices ham
  • 12 slices turkey
  • 12 slices Swiss cheese

For Brushing

  • 1/3 cup salted butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

For Serving (Optional)

  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • Raspberry or strawberry jam

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Rolls: Carefully slice the whole package of Hawaiian rolls horizontally without separating them into individual buns. Place the bottom halves of the rolls evenly in the prepared baking pan.
  3. Layer Ingredients: Layer half of the Swiss cheese slices evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls. Then evenly layer all the ham slices, followed by all the turkey slices, and top with the remaining half of the Swiss cheese slices. Finally, place the top halves of the rolls over the layered ingredients to form sliders.
  4. Make Butter-Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted salted butter, egg, and black pepper until well combined. This mixture will give the sliders a rich, golden crust.
  5. Brush Sliders: Generously brush the butter-egg mixture over the entire surface of the assembled sliders to coat them evenly.
  6. Bake Sliders: Bake the sliders in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the rolls are toasted. If the buns start to brown too quickly, loosely tent the baking pan with foil to prevent burning without sticking.
  7. Add Final Touches and Serve: Remove the sliders from the oven and sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness. Serve warm with raspberry or strawberry jam or maple syrup on the side for optional dipping to enhance the flavor.

Notes

  • Do not separate the rolls before slicing to keep the sliders intact.
  • If the tops of the sliders brown too fast, cover loosely with foil.
  • Serving with jam or maple syrup adds a delightful sweet contrast to the savory flavors.
  • Can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving.
  • Use salted butter for the best flavor balance.
