2. Cut rolls in half and place bottom halves in a baking dish.

A: Yes. Assemble the sliders, cover, and keep in the fridge. Bake when ready, adding a few extra minutes if very cold.

Q: Can I freeze Monte Cristo Sliders?
A: You can freeze baked sliders in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the oven.
