Mini breakfast sliders packed with sausage, egg, and cheese bring Southern comfort to your morning table. Hearty ingredients and simple preparation make these sliders a quick, satisfying meal you can enjoy with family and friends.


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

  1. Heat the oven to 350F (175C) and prepare a baking dish with light grease.
  2. Sauté ground breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until completely browned, carefully draining excess fat.
  3. Whisk eggs with milk, seasoning with salt and pepper, then pour into the skillet with cooked sausage.
  4. Scramble the egg and sausage mixture until eggs are just set and integrated with the meat.
  5. Split slider buns horizontally, laying bottom halves in the prepared baking dish.
  6. Evenly distribute the sausage and egg mixture across the bottom bun layers.
  7. Generously sprinkle both cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the egg mixture, covering completely.
  8. Cap the sliders with top bun halves, creating a sandwich-like arrangement.
  9. Gently brush melted butter across the top of each bun to ensure golden crispness.
  10. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes.
  11. Remove foil and continue baking 5-7 minutes until cheese melts and bun tops turn golden brown.
  12. Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor.
  13. 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.
