PULL-APART CUBAN SLIDERS



Pull-Apart Cuban Sliders image

Make mini Cuban sandwiches with this fun recipe! The idea is to assemble them as one big sandwich using packaged dinner rolls that can be pulled apart into smaller sliders. My dad will say it's not the authentic way, but you still get the classic pressed sandwich effect by using two skillets.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
One 12-pack pull-apart dinner rolls
5 ounces sliced Swiss cheese (about 8 slices)
6 ounces sliced ham (about 6 slices)
4 ounces shredded cooked pork shoulder (about 1 cup), thawed if frozen
1 small dill pickle, finely chopped
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 ripe avocados, halved, pitted and diced
1/2 cup lightly packed cilantro, finely chopped
1 orange, juiced
1 lime, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Plantain chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Mix the butter and oregano together in a small bowl until combined.
  • Split the attached dinner rolls in half horizontally with a serrated knife, keeping the rolls in each half attached. Set the top half aside. Transfer the bottom half, cut-side down, to a cutting board; spread half of the oregano butter over the top and transfer to a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, butter-side down (cut-side up).
  • Stack the sliced cheese and cut into four equal stacks. Arrange the cheese slices evenly over the roll bottoms in the skillet (the cheese can overlap).
  • Stack the sliced ham and cut into four equal stacks. Arrange the ham slices evenly over the cheese (the ham can also overlap). Scatter the shredded pork evenly over the top.
  • Heat another 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Stir the pickles and mustard together in a small bowl and spread on the cut-side of the reserved top half of the rolls, then place it, cut-side down, on the shredded pork to close the sandwich. Spread the remaining oregano butter over the roll tops.
  • Set the skillet with the sandwich over medium-low heat. Carefully place the hot cast-iron skillet directly on top of the sandwich to press and toast the roll tops. Cook until the cheese is melted and the rolls are toasted, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the avocado, cilantro, orange juice and lime juice in a medium bowl. Mash and combine with a fork. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Carefully remove the top skillet and use 2 large spatulas to transfer the sandwich to a serving platter. Serve whole with avocado dip and plantain chips, letting guests pull apart their own sliders.

MONTE CRISTO PULL-APART SLIDERS RECIPE BY TASTY



Monte Cristo Pull-Apart Sliders Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: raspberry, granulated sugar, fresh lemon juice, nonstick cooking spray, sweet hawaiian dinner rolls, roasted turkey, honey ham, swiss cheese, large egg, unsalted butter, powdered sugar

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Dinner

Time 3h30m

Yield 12 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups raspberry
½ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 package sweet hawaiian dinner rolls, 12 count
¼ lb roasted turkey, sliced
¼ lb honey ham, sliced
¼ lb swiss cheese, grated
1 large egg, beaten
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
powdered sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Make the raspberry jam: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook the raspberries for about 4 minutes, until they start to burst and become very fragrant. Add the sugar and cook, stirring constantly, for 10-15 minutes, until running a spoon through the jam leaves an open trail at the bottom of the pot. Stir in the lemon juice. Remove the pot from the heat and let the jam cool completely. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Make the sliders: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a small baking sheet with foil, leaving enough overhang so the sides can be used as handles. Grease with nonstick spray.
  • Slice the sheet of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, leaving the individual rolls connected. Place the bottom half in the prepared baking sheet.
  • Layer the turkey and ham on top, making sure to fold the meat to fit inside the individual squares of the rolls, then top with the Swiss cheese.
  • Spread the raspberry jam over the top half of the rolls and place on top of the cheese layer, pressing down lightly.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the egg and melted butter. Liberally brush on top of the rolls.
  • Bake the sliders until the cheese is completely melted and the buns are toasted, 25-30 minutes. If the tops begin to brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
  • Remove the sliders from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a serving platter. Dust lightly with powdered sugar and serve whole so the sliders can be pulled apart.
  • Enjoy!

PULL-APART SLIDERS



Pull-Apart Sliders image

An easy recipe to double for a larger crowd, these ground beef sliders require no flipping over a hot grill, no utensils, and very little time prepare. Just broil them in the oven for an all-American cookout even on a rainy summer's day.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Finger Food Recipes

Time 25m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds ground beef chuck (85 percent lean)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
12 Hawaiian sweet rolls, such as King's Hawaiian (1 package)
6 ounces American cheese, thinly sliced
Unsalted butter, melted, for brushing
Sesame seeds, for sprinkling
Sliced iceberg lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and cornichons, for serving
Toothpicks or small bamboo skewers, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler with a rack in upper third. Divide beef into twelve 3-inch round patties; place on a rimmed baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Broil until browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels.
  • Switch oven to 350°F. Using a serrated knife, split rolls in half horizontally. Place bottom half on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Layer with half of cheese; top each roll with a burger patty. Layer with remaining cheese; place other half of rolls on top. Brush rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake until cheese is melted and rolls are lightly toasted but still soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Using toothpicks, skewer each slider with a small piece of lettuce and tomato and cornichon slices on top; serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your sliders.
  • Don't overcook the pork. It should be cooked through but still juicy.
  • Shred the pork with two forks. This will give you a nice, even texture.
  • Use a good quality Cuban bread. It should be soft and fluffy, with a slightly crispy crust.
  • Don't skimp on the sauce. The sauce is what really brings these sliders together.
  • Serve the sliders warm, with plenty of napkins. They're messy, but they're worth it!

Conclusion:

Cuban sliders are a delicious and easy-to-make party food. They're perfect for game day, potlucks, or any other gathering. With a few simple tips, you can make the best Cuban sliders at home. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
