Instructions
Ingredients
- Hawaiian rolls (12 pack)
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk or heavy cream
- Salt and pepper
- Slices of cheese (cheddar or your favorite)
- Breakfast sausage or bacon
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Maple syrup (optional)
Steps
Prep the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Cut the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally.
Cook the Eggs: Whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pour the mixture into a greased baking pan and bake for 13-16 minutes or until set.
Cook the Meat: While the eggs are baking, cook the sausage or bacon in a skillet until fully cooked and crispy. Crumble or cut them into pieces.
Layer Ingredients: Once the eggs are set, cut them into rectangles. Place the bottom halves of the rolls in a baking dish, layer with scrambled eggs, sausage or bacon pieces, and cheese slices.
Top Off: Put the top halves of the rolls back on. Mix melted butter with maple syrup in a small bowl. Brush this over the tops of the rolls for a sweet glaze.
Bake Sliders: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
Enjoy your delicious breakfast sliders!
Recipe Variations & Serving Suggestions
Swap the Meat: Instead of sausage, try using bacon, ham, or even plant-based options. Cook the meat thoroughly before adding it to the sliders.
