- 2 12-roll packages of Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 1 11-count package Great Value colby jack cheese slices
Glaze and Binding:
- 1/4 cup (59 milliliters) butter
- 1/4 cup (59 milliliters) syrup
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350F (175C), preparing a baking dish for the sliders.
- Carefully slice Hawaiian rolls horizontally, keeping the bottom and top halves intact.
- Brown sausage in a skillet over medium heat, ensuring even cooking and rich flavor.
- Simultaneously prepare scrambled eggs in a separate pan, cooking until fully set and fluffy.
- Arrange the cooked sausage as the first layer on the bottom roll halves, creating a hearty base.
- Spread scrambled eggs evenly over the sausage, ensuring complete coverage.
- Place cheese slices on top of the eggs, allowing them to slightly melt from the residual heat.
- Gently position the top roll halves to complete the slider assembly.
- Create a sweet glaze by melting butter and combining it with syrup, whisking until smooth.
- Generously brush the syrup mixture over the entire surface of the slider tops.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, sealing in moisture and heat.
- Bake for 15 minutes, allowing the ingredients to warm and meld together.
- Remove foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes until tops turn golden brown.
- Let sliders rest for 2-3 minutes after removing from oven, then serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Make ahead by preparing the sliders a day in advance and refrigerating before baking to save morning preparation time.
- Swap pork sausage with turkey or chicken sausage for a leaner protein option that reduces overall fat content.
- Use gluten-free Hawaiian rolls to transform this recipe into a celiac-friendly breakfast for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Create individual portions by wrapping each slider in foil, making them perfect for grab-and-go morning meals or weekend camping trips.
