Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup seedless red raspberry jam
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
8 slices brioche bread
8 thin slices Swiss cheese
16 thin slices prosciutto cotto
4 large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup heavy cream, at room temperature
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons powdered sugar

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix together the jam, mustard and rosemary. Lay out the slices of bread. Divide the mustard mixture evenly over the 8 slices of bread and spread almost to the edges. Put a slice of cheese on each piece of bread, followed by 2 slices of prosciutto. Put together 2 of the bread slices for each sandwich.

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!
