Ingredients
For the Slider Base:
12 slider buns (Hawaiian rolls or dinner rolls work best)
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp dried parsley
For the Egg Filling:
8 large eggs
¼ cup milk (for fluffier eggs)
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp butter
For the Meat & Cheese Layers:
6 slices beef bacon, cooked and chopped
6 beef breakfast sausage patties, cooked and halved
6 slices cheddar cheese (or American cheese)
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional for extra meltiness)
Optional Toppings:
½ cup sautéed onions
¼ cup diced green bell peppers
Hot sauce or ketchup for serving
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Slider Buns
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice the slider buns in half horizontally, keeping the tops together as one piece and the bottoms as another.
Place the bottom halves in a lightly greased baking dish.
Step 2: Cook the Meats
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the beef bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside.
Using the same skillet, cook the beef sausage patties until fully cooked and golden brown on both sides. Halve each patty for even layering.
Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.
Melt 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-low heat.
Pour in the eggs and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until soft and fluffy. Remove from heat.
Step 4: Assemble the Sliders
Layer the scrambled eggs evenly over the bottom slider buns.
Sprinkle half the shredded mozzarella cheese if using.
Add cooked beef bacon and sausage pieces evenly across the eggs.
Place the cheddar cheese slices over the meat layer.
Top with optional sautéed onions or bell peppers for added flavor.
Finish with the top half of the slider buns.
Step 5: Add the Buttery Topping
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley.
Brush the mixture generously over the tops of the buns.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Cover the baking dish loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake an additional 5 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and cheese is melted.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing.
Step 7: Serve & Enjoy
Use a sharp knife to cut the sliders into individual portions.
Serve warm with ketchup, hot sauce, or your favorite breakfast dip on the side.
Notes
Use Hawaiian Rolls – They’re slightly sweet and soft, a great match for the savory filling.
Don’t Overcook the Eggs – Keep them soft and fluffy for the best texture.
Press Gently – When layering, gently press each layer to help hold it together.
Cheese It Up – For extra melt, add a sprinkle of shredded cheese under and over the meats.
Make It Spicy – Add diced jalapeños or a spicy cheese blend if you like a kick.
