Description

Loaded with savory sausage and melty cheese, these breakfast sliders bring morning comfort to a whole new level. Hearty ingredients nestled between tender rolls create a satisfying meal you’ll crave again and again.


Ingredients

Scale

Protein:

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage (pork, turkey, or chicken)
  • 8 large eggs

Dairy and Cheese:

  • 8 slices cheddar cheese (or any melty cheese)
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon (14 grams) butter (for eggs)
  • ¼ cup (57 grams) butter, melted

Bread and Seasonings:

  • 12 Hawaiian rolls (or slider buns)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Ignite the oven to a toasty 350°F and tenderly coat a 9×13-inch baking vessel with a light grease sheen.
  2. Transform the sausage into crispy, caramelized morsels by sizzling in a skillet over medium flame until perfectly browned. Banish excess grease and reserve.
  3. Whisk eggs with milk, seasoning with salt and pepper until harmoniously blended.
  4. Utilize the same skillet to melt butter, gently coaxing eggs into soft, pillowy scrambles. Remove from heat just as they set.
  5. Slice the roll collection horizontally without separating, creating a unified top and bottom landscape.
  6. Nestle the bottom roll half into the prepared baking dish, creating a foundation.
  7. Distribute the sausage crumbles evenly across the roll base, creating a protein-rich canvas.
  8. Lavish the sausage layer with the tender scrambled egg mixture.
  9. Crown the eggs with cheese slices, creating a melty blanket.
  10. Carefully position the roll top over the cheesy terrain.
  11. Craft a luxurious butter blend by combining melted butter, garlic powder, parsley, and Parmesan cheese.
  12. Generously brush the aromatic mixture across the slider surface.
  13. Envelop the dish with aluminum foil, then bake for a precise 10 minutes.
  14. Unveil the foil and continue baking until cheese melts and rolls transform into golden perfection.
  15. Allow a brief cooling moment, then slice into individual sliders and serve while warmth lingers.

Notes

  • Swap sausage with turkey or plant-based alternatives for lighter, healthier versions that still pack incredible flavor.

  • Prep ingredients ahead of time to streamline morning cooking, allowing you to assemble sliders quickly during busy weekdays.
  • Customize cheese selections like sharp cheddar or pepper jack to elevate the overall taste profile and keep things exciting.
