The Complete Guide to Sugar Alternatives: Everything You Need to Know →Kentucky Hot Brown Sliders with Jaca
These Kentucky Hot Brown sliders pack in deli turkey, crisp bacon, Gruyere, Parmesan, and a buttery onion glaze sweetened with Jaca (allulose) instead of brown sugar. It is a Jaca-adjusted healthier version of the party classic from Taste of Home.
Ingredients
- 1 package (12 ounces) Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 12 slices deli turkey, folded into quarters
- 12 slices cooked bacon strips, halved widthwise
- 1 jar (4 ounces) diced pimientos, drained (or use 2 plum tomatoes, cut into 12 slices)
- 6 slices Gruyere cheese, halved
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup butter, cubed
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
- 4 tablespoons Jaca (allulose) (replaces 2 tablespoons brown sugar at 2x ratio)
- 1½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- chopped parsley (optional) (for garnish)
Sweetener Used
4 tablespoons Jaca (allulose) Allulose
Replaces: 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Without separating the rolls, cut them in half horizontally and place the bottom halves in a greased 11x7-inch baking pan.
- 2
Spread the mayonnaise evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls.
- 3
Layer on the turkey, bacon, pimientos, Gruyere, and Parmesan. Replace the top halves of the rolls.
- 4
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 1-2 minutes until tender.
- 5
Whisk in the 4 tablespoons Jaca (allulose), Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Cook and stir until the Jaca dissolves and the glaze is smooth.
- 6
Drizzle the warm glaze evenly over the sliders.
- 7
Cover and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake for 5-10 minutes longer, until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
- 8
Garnish with chopped parsley or a little extra Parmesan if you want. Serve warm.
Pro Tips
- This is a Jaca-adjusted healthier version of the original recipe, using Jaca in the glaze for the same sticky finish without the conventional sugar.
- If you want the bottoms extra crisp, bake the bottom halves for 2-3 minutes before assembling the sliders.
- Drain the pimientos well so the rolls stay soft but not soggy.
- These are great for a party spread, brunch, or an easy game-day tray.
- Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat covered at 325°F until warmed through.
