MONTE CRISTO PULL-APART SLIDERS RECIPE BY TASTY



Monte Cristo Pull-Apart Sliders Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: raspberry, granulated sugar, fresh lemon juice, nonstick cooking spray, sweet hawaiian dinner rolls, roasted turkey, honey ham, swiss cheese, large egg, unsalted butter, powdered sugar

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Dinner

Time 3h30m

Yield 12 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups raspberry
½ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 package sweet hawaiian dinner rolls, 12 count
¼ lb roasted turkey, sliced
¼ lb honey ham, sliced
¼ lb swiss cheese, grated
1 large egg, beaten
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
powdered sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Make the raspberry jam: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook the raspberries for about 4 minutes, until they start to burst and become very fragrant. Add the sugar and cook, stirring constantly, for 10-15 minutes, until running a spoon through the jam leaves an open trail at the bottom of the pot. Stir in the lemon juice. Remove the pot from the heat and let the jam cool completely. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Make the sliders: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a small baking sheet with foil, leaving enough overhang so the sides can be used as handles. Grease with nonstick spray.
  • Slice the sheet of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, leaving the individual rolls connected. Place the bottom half in the prepared baking sheet.
  • Layer the turkey and ham on top, making sure to fold the meat to fit inside the individual squares of the rolls, then top with the Swiss cheese.
  • Spread the raspberry jam over the top half of the rolls and place on top of the cheese layer, pressing down lightly.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the egg and melted butter. Liberally brush on top of the rolls.
  • Bake the sliders until the cheese is completely melted and the buns are toasted, 25-30 minutes. If the tops begin to brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
  • Remove the sliders from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a serving platter. Dust lightly with powdered sugar and serve whole so the sliders can be pulled apart.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bread for your Monte Cristo sandwiches. A thick, fluffy bread will hold up well to the egg and milk mixture.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings. You can use ham, turkey, chicken, or even vegetables. Just make sure that the fillings are cooked through before you assemble the sandwiches.
  • If you're using a cheese that melts well, like mozzarella or cheddar, you can add it to the inside of the sandwiches before you dip them in the egg and milk mixture. This will help to create a gooey, cheesy center.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when you're cooking the sandwiches. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the sandwiches immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Mock Monte Cristo sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that the whole family will enjoy. They're perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and they can also be served as an appetizer or snack. With so many different variations to choose from, you're sure to find a Mock Monte Cristo sandwich that you'll love.
