Breakfast Sliders
Description
This recipe assembles a batch of breakfast sliders by baking seasoned breakfast sausage shaped into a rectangle and baking bacon strips until crispy. The eggs are scrambled with milk, chives, and pepper, then cooked gently in butter for a tender texture. Soft Hawaiian rolls are sliced as a block and layered with the cooked sausage, bacon, eggs, and shredded cheese.
The assembled sliders are topped with a mixture of melted butter and maple syrup, then baked to melt the cheese and warm the rolls. This baking step melds flavors and softens the rolls slightly for a cohesive bite featuring savory meats, creamy eggs, and melted cheese with a hint of sweetness from the maple glaze.
These sliders can be served warm and make an approachable way to enjoy breakfast ingredients in mini sandwich form suitable for sharing or meal prep.
Leftovers should be wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to three days or frozen for up to two months. Reheating in a microwave works well, with frozen sliders taking about a minute and refrigerated ones about 30 seconds to heat through thoroughly.

- 8 Bacon slices
- 8 egg

- 1/4 teaspsoon black pepper

Instructions

- Keeping the dinner rolls attached in one block, slice through the whole block. to create one top and one bottom. Place the bottom of the buns into a 9X13 baking pan or glass dish. Set the tops aside
- Once all ingredients are cooked, assemble the sliders. Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheese evenly over the bottom buns. Place the sausage (as one large block if possible) onto the cheese layer. Place the scrambled eggs over the sausage. Crumble the bacon and sprinkle this over the eggs. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the bacon. Place the block of bun tops over the layer of cheese.
- Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and stir in the 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Brush this mixture over the buns.
- Bake the sliders for 10-15 minutes or until the tops are golden, then remove from oven an serve.
