Ingredients
Scale
Slider Base
- 12 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Fillings
- 8 slices cooked bacon, chopped or halved
- 6 breakfast sausage patties, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Topping
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Optional: sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Buns: Slice the slider buns in half horizontally and place the bottom halves evenly in the prepared baking dish, creating a base for the layers.
- Mix Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined for a smooth mixture.
- Cook Scrambled Eggs: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat, then pour in the egg mixture and scramble gently until the eggs are just set but still moist.
- Layer Fillings: Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the bottom bun halves in the baking dish. Sprinkle the chopped bacon and crumbled sausage over the eggs, then top with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Cover with Tops: Place the tops of the slider buns over the layered fillings, covering the ingredients.
- Butter Topping: In a small bowl, combine melted butter and garlic powder; brush this mixture generously over the tops of the slider buns for added flavor and browning.
- Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with foil and place in the preheated oven; bake for 15 minutes to heat through and melt the cheese.
- Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the tops are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Take the sliders out of the oven, allow them to cool slightly for easy handling, then slice and serve warm. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired.
Notes
- Customize these sliders with your favorite breakfast meats like ham or turkey sausage for variety.
- Add sautéed vegetables such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach to incorporate extra flavor and nutrition.
- Prepare the sliders ahead of time and reheat them in the oven for a convenient, make-ahead breakfast option.
- Ensure the eggs are not overcooked during scrambling to maintain a moist and tender texture.
