Breakfast Sliders

These make-ahead breakfast sandwiches are perfect for brunch or tailgating parties. Breakfast Sliders are made with layers of cheese, sausage and scrambled eggs on a buttery handheld slider roll.

Impress your breakfast (or brunch) guests with these Hawaiian roll breakfast sliders! They make a great breakfast for a large group, hungry family or for a holiday breakfast. Who doesn’t love that scrumptious combination of cheese, sausage and egg?

I love serving these delicious breakfast sliders at least once a month because they are family favorites. Sweet Hawaiian rolls are a must-try and are the perfect slider bun. So good!

You can easily switch out the ingredients based on your family’s preferences. This breakfast sliders recipe is much better than grabbing takeout for breakfast and it’s less costly.

Ingredients

How to Make the Perfect Breakfast Sliders

• Step One: Preheat oven to 350°F. 
• Step Two: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and the maple syrup and set aside. 
• Step Three: Form 12 1oz patties from the ground pork sausage. Heat a non-stick skillet to medium high heat and cook the sausage patties for 2 minutes on each side. Place them on a paper towel lined plate to absorb some of the grease.

• Step Four: Prepare a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Using a serrated knife, cut the slider buns in half and place on the bottom half in the prepared baking dish. Set aside.
• Step Five: To assemble the sliders, arrange 6 slices of the American cheese evenly over the sliders.
• Step Six: On top of that add the scrambled eggs.

• Step Seven: Arrange the cooked sausage patties on top.
• Step Eight: Top with the last 6 slices of American cheese. Top with the other half of the Hawaiian rolls.

• Step Nine: Brush the tops with the melted butter mixture with a pastry brush. Sprinkle the sliders with everything seasoning.
• Step Ten: Loosely cover the sliders with aluminum foil and bake 12 to 15 minutes or until the cheese is nicely melted. Let stand for 2 minutes. Serve warm.

Yes! Let the sliders come to room temperature first and then wrap in plastic wrap. You can wrap the individual sliders or as a slab. Then, wrap again in aluminum foil. Store in the freezer for up to 2 months.

How to Reheat

To reheat the breakfast sliders, bake in a 350°F preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes.

What If I Don’t Have Hawaiian Rolls?

If you can’t find King’s Hawaiian Rolls, don’t fret! You can use a package of dinner rolls instead.

How to Keep Warm for a Party

• Keep the breakfast sliders covered with aluminum foil after you bring them out of the oven.
• Use a chafing dish or warming tray.
• Use a heated blanket or a heating pad under the dish with the sliders.

Why Are They Called Sliders?

Sliders are an American creation. They are basically a mini burger/sandwich that you can eat in just a few bites and they slide right off the griddle and down your throat (because they were greasy burgers!).
