Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 8 large eggs
Cheese:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Bread and Additional Ingredients:
- 12 slider buns (Hawaiian rolls)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350F (175C) and prepare a baking dish with light grease.
- Sauté ground breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until completely browned, carefully draining excess fat.
- Whisk eggs with milk, seasoning with salt and pepper, then pour into the skillet with cooked sausage.
- Scramble the egg and sausage mixture until eggs are just set and integrated with the meat.
- Split slider buns horizontally, laying bottom halves in the prepared baking dish.
- Evenly distribute the sausage and egg mixture across the bottom bun layers.
- Generously sprinkle both cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the egg mixture, covering completely.
- Cap the sliders with top bun halves, creating a sandwich-like arrangement.
- Gently brush melted butter across the top of each bun to ensure golden crispness.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove foil and continue baking 5-7 minutes until cheese melts and bun tops turn golden brown.
- Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor.
- Serve immediately while warm and cheese is gooey.
Notes
- Customize the meat by swapping breakfast sausage with turkey sausage or vegetarian crumbles for a lighter protein option.
- Prep sliders ahead of time by assembling and refrigerating overnight, which helps flavors meld and simplifies morning cooking.
- Experiment with cheese varieties like pepper jack or Swiss to add unexpected flavor complexity and personalize the dish.
- Use gluten-free slider buns to make the recipe completely gluten-free and accommodate dietary restrictions while maintaining delicious taste.
