Ingredients

12 Hawaiian slider rolls still connected
1 pound deli sliced turkey or leftover
1 pound deli sliced ham or leftover
1 ½ cup shredded Swiss cheese or 9 slices of Swiss cheese or cheddar, provolone, mozzarella, or gruyere
½ cup seedless raspberry jelly plus more for dipping, or strawberry jelly
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard or yellow mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 large egg
¼ cup powder sugar

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally while keeping them connected. Place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish and bake for 5 minutes.
Arrange the turkey evenly over the rolls, followed by the ham and Swiss cheese. Spread the raspberry jelly over the cheese and place the top buns on the sliders.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and egg until smooth.
Brush the mixture evenly over the tops of the rolls. Bake uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown, heated through, and the cheese has melted.
Remove from the oven and generously dust with powdered sugar. Slice into individual sliders and serve warm with extra raspberry jelly for dipping.

Notes

Start with the right ingredients: Keep the rolls connected for easy assembly, use quality deli turkey and ham, and shred your own Swiss cheese for the best flavor and melt.
Layer carefully: Spread the raspberry jelly evenly and avoid overfilling the sliders so they're easier to slice and serve.
Bake for success: Toast the bottom buns first to help prevent sogginess, brush the topping evenly over every roll, and watch the bake time carefully to avoid drying out the meat.
Finish just before serving: Dust with powdered sugar right before serving so it doesn't melt into the warm sliders.
Serve like a classic Monte Cristo: Offer extra raspberry jelly on the side for dipping and an authentic sweet-and-savory experience.
