Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 pack King’s Hawaiian rolls
• 8 oz deli-sliced turkey slices
• 8 oz deli-sliced ham
• 6 slices cheddar cheese
• 6 slices Swiss cheese
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 large egg
• 1 tbsp powdered sugar
• Raspberry jam for dipping

Step 1: Prep the Rolls

Start by slicing the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping each sheet of rolls together for easy assembly. You’ll have the bottom layer of bread and the top half of the rolls ready to go. Place the bottoms in a lightly greased baking dish.

Step 2: Assemble the Sliders

Building these sliders is simple and quick—a great way to feed a crowd without much effort.

Begin by layering the cheddar cheese over the bottom buns. Next, add your turkey slices, followed by the ham. Finish with a layer of Swiss cheese to give the sliders that signature melty cheese pull the classic sandwich is known for.

Once all your ingredients are stacked, place the tops of the rolls back on.

Step 3: Make the Egg Wash

In a small bowl, whisk together a mixture of melted butter and one beaten egg to create your egg wash. This step gives the sliders their signature Monte Cristo texture and ensures the tops get beautifully golden brown in the oven.

Brush the tops of the rolls generously with the buttery egg mixture. This coating not only adds flavor but also helps create the slightly crisp, custard-like exterior that sets this slider apart from any ordinary sandwich.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Place your baking dish into a preheated 325°F oven and bake for 15–20 minutes. You’ll know your Monte Cristo sliders are ready when the cheese is fully melted and the top is a perfect golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before slicing. This helps the fillings set and makes it easier to cut each roll cleanly.

Step 5: Add the Sweet Touch

No classic Monte Cristo is complete without that touch of sweetness. Once your sliders are sliced individually, dust the tops lightly with powdered sugar. This simple finish is what transforms the savory ingredients into the perfect sweet-savory comfort food combo.

Serve with a side of raspberry jam for dipping. The sweet jam and savory slider combination is what makes these Monte Cristo sliders unforgettable.
