# Directions:
01 - Set oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Whisk in flour, cooking for 1 minute. Gradually pour in milk and heavy cream, whisking continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Gruyère cheese, Parmesan, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper until the cheese melts and sauce is uniform.
03 - Slice brioche buns in half. Arrange the bottom halves on the prepared baking sheet.
04 - On each bun bottom, place a slice of roasted turkey, a thin tomato slice, a spoonful of Mornay sauce, and a slice of crisp bacon.
05 - Position the top halves on each slider. Brush tops lightly with melted butter.
06 - Sprinkle extra grated Parmesan cheese over the sliders for enhanced flavor, if desired.
07 - Place sliders in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until buns are golden and filling is heated through.
08 - Remove sliders from oven. Scatter chopped fresh parsley atop and serve warm.
