Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 8 sausage patties, cooked and halved
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
- 6 large eggs
- 8 slices cheddar or American cheese
Bread and Base:
- 12 slider buns (Hawaiian rolls or similar)
- ¼ cup milk or cream
- 1 tablespoon butter (for scrambling eggs)
Glaze and Seasonings:
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the baking setup by heating the oven to 350F (175C) and lining a 9×13-inch dish with parchment paper or applying a light grease coating.
- Create the egg base by whisking eggs with milk, seasoning with salt and pepper. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet, gently scramble the eggs until they’re barely set, then remove from heat and reserve.
- Carefully slice slider buns horizontally, keeping them connected. Arrange the bottom halves in the prepared baking dish, creating a uniform base layer.
- Construct the slider layers by spreading the scrambled eggs evenly across the bun bottoms. Distribute chopped bacon and halved sausage patties over the eggs, ensuring full coverage.
- Complete the filling by laying cheese slices across the meat, creating a melty barrier. Crown the layers with the top halves of the slider buns.
- Craft a flavor-enhancing glaze by combining melted butter, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika in a small mixing bowl.
- Generously brush the prepared glaze over the slider bun tops, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Shield the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5-7 minutes until the buns turn golden and the cheese melts completely.
- Optional: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the sliders for a vibrant finish. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the hearty breakfast creation.
Notes
- Customize the protein by swapping bacon and sausage with turkey bacon, plant-based sausage, or vegetarian alternatives for different dietary needs.
- Reduce sodium content by using low-sodium cheese and minimizing added salt during egg preparation.
- Create a gluten-free version by selecting gluten-free slider buns or using large lettuce wraps as a bread substitute.
- Prepare components ahead of time by pre-cooking eggs and meats, allowing for quick assembly and faster morning meal preparation.
