Party guests will fall head-over-heels for these monte cristo-stuffed cheesy sliders!—Simple to throw together at a moment’s notice and unbelievably fun to eat!
So the appin’ has completely gotten out of control. Goodbye forever diet, hello monte cristo-stuffed sliders. ♥
And I mean, seri-ous-ly.
Actually guys, I’m not even sure whether to call these sliders an appetizer or a full meal. Obviously sliders fit into the appetizer category, but there’s also the fact that these sliders are ginormous and then there’s the cold hard truth that you are no doubt going to eat half the pan.
Which brings to mind my point which is that you may go slider-cray at any time or any place.
Sorry. I’m only lookin’ out for all your carb needs over here.
Want to talk about this here insanity before we all pass out from pull-apart cheesy overload? I’ll try to be brief, but…well, you know that never ends up happening.
Here’s what happens: It’s kinda magical the way I see it so just watch. —>
- 1 dozen dinner rolls get split in half horizontally. (you can use this simple recipe, your fav recipe, or storebought dinner rolls!)
- Layers of sliced cheese and turkey lunch meat are then placed atop the bottom half.
- Slightly-ridiculous amounts of melted garlicky-herb butter is lovingly brushed on top.
- Top half of buns is placed on top of everything.
- More garlic butter brushed on top of the whole pan of ridiculousness.
Quick trip to the oven…
And an even quicker trip to gooey, pull-apart cheesy HE-AV-EN for you.
Seriously, I need to stop before someone gets hurt from all that blinding cheese perfection.
And that’s all she wrote. I’m off to polish off the last three of these before that annoying voice of reason starts speaking.
The one that I am undoubtedly going to ignore.

I’m totally craving these for breakfast, Sarah! This recipe is so creative! I love monte cristo sandwiches, but it’s been forever since I’ve had one. I definitely need to try these out, especially since my husband would go nuts over these!

Ashley | The Recipe Rebel says
SERIOUSLY. Sliders like these have been on my to-make list forEVer, but I’ve never gotten around to it. I am a big Monte Cristo lover though and I might just have to put these on the menu. So good!
Sarah says
You so need to try these sliders ASAP, Ashley!! You will not regret it. 😀
marcie says
I would forego my diet for half a pan of these! Yes, they could be an appetizer, but I’d gladly eat them for dinner. My kids would think I was the best mom ever if I made these for them — I’d probably have to fight them for some! haha These look amazing, Sarah!
Sarah says
There’s definitely no time for diets when these sliders are around! 😉 Thanks Marcie!
Stacey @ Bake.Eat.Repeat. says

Sarah says
Thanks Stacey!!
Rachel @ Bakerita says
We are on the same monte cristo wavelength!! I could definitely eat a few of these – they look AMAZING. That garlic butter!!
Sarah says
We SO are, girl!! Foodie twinning! 😀
Liz @ Floating Kitchen says
Oh the annoying voice of reason. I kicked her to the curb a long time ago. Hence, why I just had nachos for dinner! Ha ha ha! These sliders look absolutely amazing!
Sarah says
Nachos for dinner sounds SPOT ON! 😀 Thanks girlfriend!
Kristine | Kristine's Kitchen says
Sliders are so fun and I am completely smitten with these! Your photos are making me wish I had some of these little sandwiches for a late-night snack!
Sarah says
Aw thanks sweetie! Happy weekend!! 🙂
Natalie @ Tastes Lovely says
I want to make these for the superbowl on Sunday! Everyone will love them!
Sarah says
You totally should, friend!! Do it. 😀
Cyndi - My Kitchen Craze says
These could totally be an appetizer or dinner. However you eat them, they sound amazing! They would be gone in a flash in my home!
Sarah says
They totally disappear within minutes around here too! Thanks for the sweet words, Cyndi!
Izzy @ She Likes Food says
You can totally call sliders a full meal! And these ones look amazing, especially with all the gooey cheese I see!! I’ll take ten please!
Sarah says
Yes, they can totally be a whole meal! You certainly end up eating enough of them! LOL.
Angelina says
These “Monte Cristo Pull Apart Sliders” sound delicious, and very easy to prepare. I just don’t understand the ‘pull apart’ concept. Can’t you just eat them whole, as you would a normal slider? Am I missing something?
Karen says
I made these this past weekend, but used Ham, since I already had that, and they were delicious. Thanks for sharing
Sarah says
Glad to hear it Karen! Hope you loved them! 🙂
