Ingredients

Scale

For the sliders:

  • 12 Hawaiian rolls (or soft dinner rolls)
  • 6 slices of deli ham
  • 6 slices of deli turkey
  • 6 slices of Swiss cheese (or Gruyère)
  • 6 slices of cheddar cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the glaze:

  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

For serving:

  • Raspberry jam or your favorite preserves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rolls:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally without separating them, creating a top and bottom layer. Place the bottom layer in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Layer the sliders:
    • Lay the ham slices evenly over the bottom half of the rolls, followed by the turkey slices.
    • Add a layer of Swiss cheese and then a layer of cheddar cheese. Place the top half of the rolls back on.
  3. Mix the egg wash:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sliders, allowing it to soak into the bread.
  4. Prepare the glaze:
    • In another bowl, combine the melted butter, maple syrup (or honey), and Dijon mustard. Brush the glaze over the tops of the rolls.
  5. Bake:
    • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
  6. Dust and serve:
    • If desired, lightly dust the sliders with powdered sugar for a traditional Monte Cristo touch. Serve warm with raspberry jam or your favorite preserves on the side.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add a layer of pepper jack cheese or a pinch of cayenne to the glaze.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven.
