How to Make the Recipe
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Start by gathering all your ingredients. Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half, keeping them intact so you can assemble the sliders easily.
Step 2: Cook the Bacon and Sausage
In a large skillet, cook the bacon until it’s crispy. Remove it from the pan and set aside. In the same skillet, cook the ground breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula until it’s browned and fully cooked. Set the sausage aside with the bacon.
Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
In a separate bowl, crack and whisk the eggs. Cook them in the skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they’re scrambled and fully cooked.
Step 4: Assemble the Sliders
On the bottom half of each Hawaiian roll, layer the cooked sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, and slices of cheese. Add a drizzle of maple syrup and sprinkle with Everything But the Bagel Seasoning.
Step 5: Toast the Sliders
Place the top halves of the rolls onto the assembled sliders. Transfer the entire tray to a preheated oven (350°F/175°C) and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sliders are golden brown.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Remove from the oven, slice into individual sliders, and serve warm. Enjoy the mix of savory and sweet flavors in every bite!
Tips for Making the Recipe
- Don’t Overcook the Eggs: Scramble the eggs gently and cook them just until they’re set to keep them soft and fluffy.
- Use Fresh Rolls: For the best texture, use fresh Hawaiian rolls, which are soft and sweet. If you can’t find them, substitute with another soft bread roll.
- Customize the Seasoning: Feel free to adjust the seasoning on the sausage or add some chili flakes to the maple syrup for a little extra heat.
- Double the Recipe: If you’re serving a large group, simply double the ingredients and bake them in two trays.
How to Serve
These breakfast sliders are great on their own, but they pair wonderfully with a side of fresh fruit, hash browns, or a light salad. For a special touch, serve them with a cold glass of orange juice or a hot cup of coffee.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you have any leftover sliders, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
Freezing
To freeze the sliders, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then store them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. When ready to eat, reheat them in the oven or microwave.
Reheating
Reheat the sliders in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or microwave them for 1-2 minutes until warmed through.
