Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (pork, turkey, or chicken)
- 8 large eggs
- 8 slices cheddar cheese (or any melty cheese)
- 12 Hawaiian rolls (or slider buns)
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon butter (for eggs)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Prep Oven and Skillet: Ignite the oven to 350°F and lightly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Sausage Preparation: Sizzle sausage in a skillet over medium heat until thoroughly cooked, draining excess fat, then set aside.
- Egg Mixture: Whisk eggs with milk, seasoning with salt and pepper, then scramble in the same skillet with butter until softly set.
- Slider Foundation: Slice rolls horizontally without separating, positioning bottom half in the prepared baking dish.
- Layer Construction: Distribute cooked sausage evenly across roll bottoms, followed by scrambled eggs and cheese slices.
- Flavor Enhancement: Blend melted butter with garlic powder, parsley, and Parmesan cheese, then generously brush over slider tops.
- Baking Process: Cover with aluminum foil, bake for 10 minutes, then uncover and continue baking until cheese melts and rolls turn golden.
- Serving: Allow sliders to cool briefly, then portion into individual servings and present warm.
Notes
- Avoid overcooking eggs to prevent dryness; remove from heat when they’re just set for creamy, soft texture.
- Use room temperature cheese slices for even melting and better coverage across sausage and egg layers.
- Drain excess fat completely to prevent greasy sliders and ensure a crisp bottom roll base.
- Swap pork sausage with turkey or plant-based sausage for lighter version; use gluten-free rolls for wheat-sensitive diets.
