Ingredients

12 Hawaiian rolls
16 ounces breakfast sausage
6 large eggs
4 ounces Colby jack cheese (slices)
Salt and pepper (to taste)
1 tablespoon butter (melted)
1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350˚F (175˚C).
Step 2: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula as it cooks. Once browned and cooked through, remove the sausage from the pan and optionally drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 3: Crack the eggs into the same skillet, season with salt and pepper, and scramble gently over low heat. Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs are set. Fold the edges inward to form a neat rectangle, then remove from heat.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and maple syrup to create the syrup glaze.
Step 5: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. On the bottom halves, layer the scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, and cheese slices. Replace the tops of the rolls, then use a serrated knife to cut between each slider.
Step 6: Brush the syrup glaze generously over the top of the slider buns.
Step 7: Place the sliders on a baking sheet and bake for 18-22 minutes, until heated through and the cheese has melted.

Tips & Variations

For a spicy kick, add a few dashes of hot sauce or some sliced jalapeños to the sausage layer.
Substitute Colby jack with cheddar or pepper jack cheese for a different flavor.
Make it vegetarian by replacing sausage with sautéed mushrooms or plant-based sausage.
Use a non-stick spray or just a little oil to cook the eggs if you want to avoid butter.

Storage

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated 350˚F oven for about 10 minutes or microwave until warmed through. Avoid microwaving for too long to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I prepare these sliders ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the sliders the night before and keep them covered in the refrigerator. Apply the syrup glaze just before baking to keep the tops from becoming soggy.

Can I freeze the breakfast sliders?

Absolutely. Wrap the baked sliders tightly in plastic wrap and then foil. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating in the oven.

Slider Ingredients

12 Hawaiian rolls
16 ounces breakfast sausage
6 large eggs
4 ounces Colby Jack cheese (slices)
Salt and pepper to taste

Syrup Glaze

1 tablespoon butter (melted)
1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350˚F to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the sliders.
Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula until fully cooked. Once done, remove the sausage from the pan and optionally place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Scramble the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Reduce the skillet heat to low and pour the eggs in, covering the skillet. Let the eggs cook gently until set, then fold the edges in with a spatula to form a rectangular shape before removing from heat.
Make the Syrup Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and maple syrup until well combined to create a sweet glaze for the slider tops.
Assemble the Sliders: Slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally and layer the base halves with scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, and slices of Colby Jack cheese. Place the roll tops back on the sandwiches.
Cut and Glaze: Using a serrated knife, cut between each sandwich to separate the sliders. Brush the syrup glaze evenly over the tops of all the sliders to add sweetness and shine.
Bake the Sliders: Arrange the assembled sliders in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sliders are heated through.

Notes

For easier assembly, use a serrated knife to slice the Hawaiian rolls without crushing them.
Optional: Drain sausage on paper towels to reduce grease.
Customize by adding cooked bacon, spinach, or different cheeses if desired.
Serve warm with extra maple syrup on the side for dipping.
These sliders can be made ahead and reheated in the oven or toaster oven.
