This recipe quickly jumped to the top of my favorites list.

Not just because it’s easy to make, but because it’s SO incredibly delicious!

I would have never thought to dust sliders with powdered sugar, but I am so glad that is the signature of this recipe. It adds just the right amount of sweetness to each bite.

The flavor of each individual ingredient comes together perfectly in these sliders.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Monte Cristo Sandwich?

The Monte Cristo sandwich likely originated in Paris cafes around 1910 as a variation of the croque monsieur. However, it became popular in the United States around the 1930s.

Are these sliders gluten-free friendly?

If you use gluten-free sliders, then this recipe is gluten-free friendly! All the other ingredients naturally don’t contain gluten.

Do I have to dust the sliders in powdered sugar?

Nope! You can omit that step completely and eat the sliders as soon as they come out of the oven.

Can I make the sliders ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the sliders one day ahead of time for ultimate freshness (but do not bake them yet!). Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 1 day. Then, bake according to the directions and dust with powdered sugar when you are ready to serve.

How should I store leftover sliders?

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. When ready to eat, heat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds or until the cheese is warm and melted.
