Monte Cristo Sliders


  • Author: Amelia
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 12 sliders
  • Diet: Gluten Free (if gluten-free buns are used)

Description

Monte Cristo Sliders are bite-sized, handheld sandwiches that perfectly balance sweet, savory, and melty flavors. Featuring layers of ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese on soft brioche slider buns, toasted to a golden crisp with an egg wash, and topped with powdered sugar and fruity jam, these sliders are ideal for brunch, game day, or casual gatherings.


Ingredients

Slider Components

  • Brioche Slider Buns (soft, slightly sweet) – 12 buns
  • Thinly sliced Ham – 6 oz
  • Thinly sliced Turkey – 6 oz
  • Swiss Cheese slices – 6 slices

Coating and Topping

  • Egg Wash (2 eggs whisked with 2 tbsp milk)
  • Butter (2 tbsp for toasting)
  • Powdered Sugar (for sprinkling)

Serving

  • Raspberry or Strawberry Jam (for spreading or serving on the side)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Gather thin slices of ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese. Slice brioche slider buns in half horizontally. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and 2 tablespoons of milk to create the egg wash.
  2. Assemble the Sliders: On each bottom bun half, layer ham, turkey, and a slice of Swiss cheese. Cover with the top bun half and gently press down to secure the layers.
  3. Brush with Egg Wash and Butter: Brush each slider thoroughly with the egg wash. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Toast the sliders in the skillet, flipping carefully until each side is golden brown and crispy and the cheese inside has melted.
  4. Add the Sweet Touch: Remove sliders from heat and lightly sprinkle powdered sugar on top. Serve with a dollop of raspberry or strawberry jam either spread inside or on the side for dipping.
  5. Serve Warm and Enjoy: Serve the Monte Cristo Sliders warm to enjoy the perfect blend of melty cheese, crispy bread, and sweet jam in every bite.

Notes

  • Don’t skip the egg wash—it creates the signature buttery, golden crust.
  • Use thinly sliced meats and cheese for even melting and texture balance.
  • Toast sliders on medium heat to avoid burning before the cheese melts.
  • Assemble sliders ahead of time and refrigerate, then toast just before serving.
  • Customize the jam or cheese to your liking for different flavor variations.
