Million Dollar Holiday Party Sliders Recipe

Classic baked ham and cheese sliders are always a crowd pleaser for a gathering. But how to translate that star for the holiday season? This recipe swaps the ham for shredded turkey and uses Brie cheese instead of Swiss. Paired with crispy sweet potato fries and a spoonful of cranberry sauce, these sliders are the perfect holiday party treat! The trick here is to keep the rolls together before slicing them in half it really helps speed up the assembly process since you're essentially creating one large sandwich that can be cut into portions after baking.

You can get creative with the meat for these sliders. Use leftover roast turkey from a holiday meal for a tasty way to use up leftovers. Alternatively, poach fresh turkey breasts in broth until tender and shred them with forks. If you're pressed for time, deli-sliced turkey works just as well. And if turkey isn't your thing, shredded or sliced ham can easily be substituted whatever works best for you!

Before baking, brush the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. The butter helps the cheese stick to the rolls and ensures a nice crisp on the bottom as they bake.

Ingredients

• 12 ounces frozen sweet potato fries
• 12 small soft rolls
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 heaping teaspoon whole grain mustard
• 1 pound shredded turkey meat (or sliced deli turkey)
• 7 ounces Brie cheese, cut into 1/2-inch slices
• 3 tablespoons cranberry sauce
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425F (220C). Spread the sweet potato fries in a 9x13-inch baking dish and bake according to package instructions until crispy, around 10 to 12 minutes. Once done, remove the fries from the oven and set aside on a plate.

Step 2: Reduce the oven temperature to 350F (175C). Without separating the rolls, use a bread knife to slice them in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves of the rolls into the same 9x13-inch dish.

Step 3: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and whole grain mustard. Spread the mixture evenly over the cut sides of the rolls.

Step 4: Layer the shredded (or sliced) turkey on top of the mayonnaise, then add the crispy sweet potato fries on top of the turkey. Place the Brie slices evenly over the fries, and dot the surface with spoonfuls of cranberry sauce.

Step 5: Place the tops of the rolls back on the sandwich. Pour the melted butter over the rolls and brush it evenly with a pastry brush. Finally, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top.

Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven at 350F (175C) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the Brie is melted and the Parmesan is golden brown.
