Smoked Turkey Breakfast Sliders
Description
These Smoked Turkey Breakfast Sliders start with fluffy slider rolls topped with melted cheese and thinly sliced smoked turkey. The eggs are scrambled gently over medium heat to form large soft curds, retaining a tender texture. Optional prosciutto adds a salty, rich layer that breaks apart easily when served. The basting butter, a mixture of melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and cayenne pepper, is whisked to balance sweetness, tanginess, and mild heat. It is brushed on the assembled sliders before baking to add moisture and flavor, creating a slightly glossy top.
The result is a handheld slider with savory, smoky, and slightly sweet notes, perfect for a brunch spread or casual breakfast. The soft rolls contrast the creamy eggs and melted cheese inside, with prosciutto adding a meaty accent if included.
The recipe involves scrambling eggs carefully to maintain texture and assembling ingredients so that each slider is individually topped with cheese, turkey, and optional prosciutto. The baking step melds the flavors and melts the cheese thoroughly. Served warm, these sliders can stand alone or be accompanied by fresh sliced tomatoes and mashed avocado for garnish.
Ingredients
- 9 slider roll
- 1½ cups cheese I used monterey jack/cheddar blend, shredded
- 4 lices prosciutto optional
- 1 pound smoked turkey cut into pieces that will fit individually on a roll, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 6 egg
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
FOR THE BASTING BUTTER:
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- pinch cayenne pepper
FOR GARNISH:
- 3 plum tomatoes sliced
- 2 avocado mashed
Instructions
FOR THE BASTING BUTTER:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, worcestershire sauce, maple syrup, dijon mustard and cayenne pepper. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Cut 9 slider rolls in half to separate tops and bottoms. Lay the bottoms in an 8x8" square casserole dish.
SCRAMBLE THE EGGS:
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper. Heat a medium saute pan over medium heat and add the butter to melt. Add the eggs and let sit for 30-45 seconds.
- When the bottom of the eggs are set, drag a spatula across the bottom of the pan from the 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock position, then from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock - folding the eggs into large curds. When the eggs are 90% set, remove them from the heat.
ASSEMBLE THE SLIDERS
- Top the rolls with the cheese. Tear the prosciutto into pieces and divide the over each individual slider roll (Do not lay whole slices of prosciutto across the rolls, because they won't naturally break apart when lifting out the buns).
- Top the prosciutto with several slices of smoked turkey.
- Top the turkey with the eggs and top with the other half of the slider rolls. Use a pastry brush to baste the tops of the rolls with the butter sauce. (You don't have to use all the butter sauce on the tops -- if there's some leftover, let your diners add additional to their rolls if they'd like.
- Sprinkle the tops with sesame seeds. Cover the casserole with tin foil and place in the hot oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, then remove the foil and continue to bake for another 10 minutes.
PREP THE TOPPINGS:
- While the sliders are baking, slice the tomato and transfer to a serving plate. Mash the avocado with a fork and transfer to a serving bowl.
- Serve sliders with any leftover butter sauce, sliced tomato and mashed avocado. (Note: to serve avocado, remove the top of the slider and spread it over the top half of the roll.)
