Monte Cristo Sliders

📝 Ingredients

• 12 Hawaiian rolls, kept connected
• ½ cup raspberry or strawberry preserves
• ½ pound deli turkey, thinly sliced
• ½ pound deli honey ham, thinly sliced
• 12 slices Swiss cheese
• 6 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1½ tablespoons mayonnaise
• Powdered sugar, for garnish

👩‍🍳 Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally, keeping them connected, and place the bottom half on the prepared baking sheet.

3. 3

   Spread the raspberry preserves evenly over the bottom half of the rolls.

4. 4

   Add 6 slices of Swiss cheese, followed by the turkey and ham. Top with the remaining 6 slices of Swiss cheese.

5. 5

   In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, beaten egg, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and mayonnaise.

6. 6

   Brush the butter mixture over the inside of the top half of the rolls and place it on top of the sliders.

7. 7

   Brush the remaining butter mixture over the tops of the rolls until coated but not soggy. You may have some sauce leftover, and that’s okay.

8. 8

   Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

9. 9

   Let the sliders cool for a few minutes, then transfer them to a serving dish. Dust with powdered sugar, cut into individual sandwiches, and serve.

💡 Tips for Success

• Keep the rolls connected: Keeping the Hawaiian rolls together while assembling and baking makes these much easier to handle and helps the sliders stay together.
• Don’t oversaturate the buns: Brush the buttery mixture generously over the tops, but don’t soak the rolls. You may have sauce left over.
• Use raspberry preserves: Raspberry is my favorite because the sweet-tart flavor works so well with the salty ham and Swiss cheese, but strawberry preserves work too.
• Slice after baking: Let the sliders cool for a few minutes before cutting them apart so the cheese has a chance to set slightly.
