Assemble the Sliders: Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard and/or mayonnaise on the bottom half of each roll, if using. Layer with ham, turkey, and cheese. Place the tops of the rolls over the fillings.
Make the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
Dip the Sliders: Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly over the assembled sliders, making sure the tops get coated as well. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the rolls to soak up some of the mixture.
Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and poppy seeds.
Add the Glaze: Brush or drizzle the glaze mixture evenly over the tops of the sliders.
Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Serve: Let the sliders cool for a few minutes before serving. They’re delicious on their own or with a side of raspberry jam for dipping, which adds a lovely touch of sweetness that complements the savory flavors.
These Monte Cristo Sliders are perfect for game day, parties, or any time you want a delicious and fun bite-sized treat! Enjoy!
