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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
