These Monte Cristo Sliders are a delightful twist on the classic sandwich, featuring layers of savory smoked ham, roasted turkey, and melted Gruyère cheese nestled between sweet Hawaiian dinner rolls. Baked to golden perfection and topped with a buttery, tangy sauce, then dusted with powdered sugar and served with raspberry preserves, these sliders offer a perfect blend of sweet and savory flavors ideal for parties or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Sliders

  • 1 package Sweet Hawaiian Dinner Rolls (12-count each)
  • ½ pound deli sliced smoked ham
  • ½ pound deli sliced smoked roasted turkey
  • ½ pound Gruyère cheese (hand grated)

Sauce

  • 1 stick salted butter (melted)
  • 1 egg (beaten)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

For Serving

  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • Raspberry Preserves (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or foil, leaving enough overhang to lift the sliders easily after baking. Lightly spray the lining with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Assemble the Sliders: Keeping the Hawaiian rolls connected, slice them horizontally as a single unit without separating individual rolls. Place the bottom half of the rolls into the prepared baking dish. Evenly layer the smoked ham, roasted turkey, and grated Gruyère cheese over the bottom rolls.
  3. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, beaten egg, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and mayonnaise until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Pour half of this sauce evenly over the layered meats and cheese in the baking dish.
  4. Bake the Sliders: Place the top half of the rolls over the assembled ingredients, pressing down lightly to compact the sliders. Pour the remaining sauce over the tops and brush it evenly. Bake the sliders uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil to prevent burning.
  5. Finish and Serve: Remove the sliders from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Using the parchment paper overhang, carefully lift the entire block of sliders onto a cutting board. Cut into individual sliders with a sharp knife. Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve warm with raspberry preserves on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Keep the rolls connected while slicing to maintain the shape and ease assembly.
  • If the tops brown too fast, tent loosely with foil to avoid burning.
  • Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
  • Gruyère cheese can be substituted with Swiss cheese if desired.
  • Raspberry preserves provide a sweet contrast; other berry jams can also work well.
