How to Make Easy Breakfast Sliders
Step 1: Prep and Slice the Rolls
Get your oven warming to 350°F. Without pulling the Hawaiian rolls apart, carefully slice the whole slab horizontally to keep them connected—you’ll have a solid base and a lid for perfect, sturdy sliders. Place the bottom half into a buttered or nonstick-sprayed 9×13-inch baking dish. This not only keeps things neat, but makes assembly lightning-fast!
Step 2: Whisk and Scramble the Eggs
In a mixing bowl, whisk together your large eggs with milk, a pinch of salt, and a grind of black pepper until everything is smooth and golden. Melt a tablespoon of butter in a roomy nonstick skillet over medium heat, then pour in your egg mixture. Gently scramble until just set and soft—don’t overcook; the eggs will finish in the oven and stay deliciously tender.
Step 3: Layer on the Good Stuff
Spoon the scrambled eggs evenly over the bottom half of your rolls. Next up, layer on all your crispy bacon or perfectly browned sausage patties—make sure to cover each area so every slider gets its fair share. Top it all off with evenly spaced cheddar or American cheese slices for that gooey, melty layer everyone loves.
Step 4: Add Mayo and Assemble
If you’re using mayo, swipe a thin layer across the inside of the top buns for an added boost of creamy richness. Carefully place this top slab of rolls onto your layered-up bottom half, aligning all the edges for neat, bakery-style sliders.
Step 5: Brush and Season the Tops
For that dreamy, glossy golden finish, brush the tops with melted butter or a drizzle of maple syrup—you can’t go wrong with a hint of sweetness here. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning or sesame seeds if you’re feeling fancy for crunch and visual wow factor.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Tent your baking dish with foil and pop those sliders into the oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for an extra 5 minutes so the tops go perfectly golden and that cheese really melts. Remove from the oven, slice along the original roll lines, and serve your Easy Breakfast Sliders steaming hot!
How to Serve Easy Breakfast Sliders
Garnishes
Dress up your Easy Breakfast Sliders with fresh chopped chives, a sprinkle of microgreens, or even a few hot sauce droplets. These little touches turn a weekday breakfast into a gourmet-style feast with minimal effort.
Side Dishes
Balance your sliders with a side of fresh fruit salad, crispy hash browns, or some roasted breakfast potatoes. A quick arugula salad with vinaigrette also adds a bright, peppery note that pairs beautifully with warm, cheesy sliders.
Creative Ways to Present
Arrange your Easy Breakfast Sliders on a wooden board with small flags or skewers for a brunch buffet. Serve them alongside little condiment bowls—think ketchup, hot sauce, or extra maple syrup—for a make-your-own slider bar that everyone will rave about!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you wind up with extra Easy Breakfast Sliders, simply wrap them tightly in foil or pop them into an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh in the fridge for up to three days, making breakfast a breeze all week.
Freezing
To freeze, let the sliders cool completely. Wrap each one individually in plastic wrap and then gather them all in a freezer bag or airtight container. They’re freezer-friendly for up to a month—just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Reheating
For the best results, reheat sliders in the oven, covered with foil, at 325°F until warmed through. If you’re in a hurry, a minute or so in the microwave works too, though the oven keeps the bread crispier. Enjoy them piping hot all over again!
FAQs
Can I use other meats in Easy Breakfast Sliders?
Absolutely! Swap bacon or sausage for sliced ham, turkey sausage, or even a vegetarian sausage option. The recipe is delightfully versatile and welcomes whatever you have on hand.
Are these sliders good for meal prep?
Yes, Easy Breakfast Sliders are perfect for meal prep. You can assemble and bake them ahead, then just grab, reheat, and go throughout the week. Busy mornings just got a whole lot tastier!
What cheese works best for these sliders?
Cheddar and American are classic, but feel free to get creative with pepper jack, Swiss, or smoked gouda for new flavor twists. Choose a cheese that melts easily for that signature oozy layer.
Can I make Easy Breakfast Sliders vegetarian?
Definitely! Swap out the bacon or sausage for sautéed mushrooms, peppers, or spinach. You can also layer in a vegetarian sausage patty for a hearty, meatless morning.
How do I keep the sliders from getting soggy?
Keep your eggs slightly undercooked since they’ll finish baking in the oven, and don’t overload with wet ingredients. Brushing with melted butter or maple syrup just on top adds shine but won’t make the bread soggy.
