Breakfast sliders are my go-to weekend brunch treat whenever I have a crowd to feed or want something hearty and fun The combination of crisp bacon savory sausage fluffy eggs and gooey cheese all tucked into sweet Hawaiian rolls never lasts long at my table

Each bite packs layers of flavor and texture, and even picky eaters go back for seconds I made these for a holiday breakfast one year and my family still talks about it

Ingredients

  • Bacon diced: Choose thick cut for maximum flavor and crisp texture
  • Breakfast sausage: Look for fresh bulk sausage with a bit of spice if you like heat
  • Hawaiian rolls: These are soft and slightly sweet making each slider irresistible
  • Eggs: Use large eggs for fluffy filling
  • Heavy cream or milk: Adds richness and keeps the eggs creamy
  • Salt: Balances out all the savory components
  • Butter: Real butter adds flavor and creates a glossy top
  • American cheese: Melts perfectly and brings classic breakfast taste Any sliced cheese will work well
  • Maple syrup: This touch of sweetness is what makes the tops golden and extra special
  • Everything bagel seasoning: Optional but brings crunch and that deli flavor If not available substitute sesame or poppy seeds

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare Bacon and Sausage:
Dice bacon and cook in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain excess grease Break up the breakfast sausage in the same skillet and cook until browned and no longer pink Remove to the plate with bacon
Scramble the Eggs:
In a medium mixing bowl whisk eggs with heavy cream or milk until completely smooth and a little frothy This ensures a rich tender egg base Melt one tablespoon butter in a clean skillet over medium high heat Pour in the eggs Gently stir with a spatula moving the mixture around the pan for soft creamy curds Sprinkle with salt when just set and remove from heat
Assemble the Sliders:
Slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally keeping sides attached for easier assembly Place the bottom half on a baking sheet Spread scrambled eggs evenly over the rolls then scatter cooked sausage and bacon on top Layer slices of cheese over the meat
Finish and Bake:
Place the top buns over the cheese Melt two tablespoons of butter and mix with maple syrup until smooth Brush generously over the tops Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning if using Bake at 350 degrees for about fifteen minutes until cheese melts and tops are golden Cover loosely with foil if getting too brown

I especially love using a good sharp cheddar for deeper flavor Sometimes we make a game to see who can get the cheesiest slider which always ends in laughter and a few extra napkins needed

Storage Tips

Keep leftover sliders in an airtight container in the fridge They stay fresh for up to four days Reheat in a low oven or wrapped in foil so they do not dry out Freezing is possible just wrap each slider individually for grab and go breakfasts

Ingredient Substitutions

Use any kind of cheese you love or have on hand Cheddar provolone or pepper jack all melt beautifully Swap bacon for ham or turkey sausage to lighten things up If you do not have Hawaiian rolls use your favorite slider or dinner rolls
