Monte Cristo sandwiches are one of my favorites. I love the compliment of the sweet jam when you pair it with the savory sandwich. These monte cristo sliders are a tasty variation. You make them on Hawaiian rolls which adds a nice sweetness to the sliders.
A traditional monte cristo sandwich is an egg batter dipped ham and cheese sandwich that is then pan or deep fried. It’s like a French toast sandwich. There is no frying needed with this slider version. They bake in the oven. Also, these do not get a dip in an egg batter mixture. Instead, they get a brushing with an egg mixture.
You can find every other element to a monte cristo in here. There is ham, turkey, and swiss cheese. There is the addition of a spreading of some Dijon mustard on those Hawaiian rolls too. Don’t forget the dusting of powdered sugar over top before serving them with the jam on the side for dipping. These sliders are a delicious variation.

- In a small bowl, whisk the egg and slow drizzle in the melted butter while whisking. Brush the mixture on top of the rolls.
- Cover with loosely with foil (don’t let it touch the tops of the rolls to avoid sticking – use toothpicks if necessary to “lift” the foil).
