Monte Cristo Slider Sandwiches Recipe (1)

The ENTIRE family loooooves Disneyland. It is pretty much an obsession. As we’ve gotten older, we love Disney even more because we can appreciate all of the amazing food in the parks.

One of our favorite foods in Disneylandis the Monte Cristo Sandwich (you can find our copycat recipe for it here), but I thought I could make a lighter version that is almost as delicious as the original.

These are so simple to throw together and make a wonderful dinner. However, I wouldn’t mind eating these for breakfast either. Put a little raspberry jam with them, and my tastebuds will be singing.

If you have never tried a Monte Cristo from Disneyland, you need to stop what you are doing, and make these. They are absolutely delicious.

Could I use the egg on top, and not in the sauce:

I have only made this recipe using the egg in the sauce. When baked, it gives it a glazed texture. If yours is soggy, you may be basting it with too much egg.

You could baste the top of the sliders with egg, but we prefer to put it in the sauce, to allow the inside texture, to get that crisp texture.

What rolls work best for these Monte Cristo Slider Sandwiches?

We are not paid to say this, but I think all the sisters can agree that Kings Hawaiian Rolls work best for this recipe. They are sweet, buttery, and come baked together, which is perfect for a good slider recipe.

If you have never tried their rolls, we highly recommend them. We even have them plain for Sunday dinners, because they are better than homemade rolls to me. They are so flaky and delicious. They work great for this recipe.

    Your recipe sounds wonderful. I am going to make this for my book group this month. Just wondering though, can you tell me what the egg in the sauce does? Have you made it with and without the egg before? Thanks!

  2. Elyse says:

    Hi Heather!The egg just thickens the sauce and binds all the ingredients together. I've never tried it without the egg, but I'm sure it would work fine!

  3. AlixB says:

    I was wondering the same thing. The sandwiches were delicious, but it seemed weird (and a little gross) to have egg in a spread that goes inside a sandwich. I looked at some similar recipes, and they all say to brush the egg/mustard sauce on the top of the sandwiches, not the inside of the buns. Next time I'll either skip the egg or put the sauce on the top.

  4. Robin says:

    The egg was weird for me as well. Absolutely get it as a regular Monte Cristo is dipped in egg then fried. But after 20 minutes my inside sandwich was soggy from the egg spread.

  5. Carol Price says:

    This recipe will be perfect for my granddaughter's graduation party next weekend! Thanks for the recipe.

  6. Momma Cyd says:

    Best of luck with your Granddaughter's graduation!! Fun family time!!
