Preparing Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sliders

Making these sliders is a breeze. You start with cooking the sausage and scrambling the eggs while mashing the delicious flavors together—simple, right? Layer your ingredients on soft buns, drizzle with maple syrup for that touch of sweetness, and bake to perfection. In under an hour, you’ll have a mouthwatering dish ready to serve.

Gather these items

To make these delightful breakfast sliders, you’ll need:

• 24 ounces ground pork sausage
• 2 breakfast sausage rolls (like Jimmy Dean)
• 12 Hawaiian buns or any slider buns of your choice
• 8 large eggs, scrambled
• 6 slices pepper jack cheese
• 8 slices American cheese
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/4 cup maple syrup

Feel free to swap the cheeses or buns based on your preference. Cheddar or Monterey Jack can work well too!

Step-by-step instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a skillet, cook the ground pork sausage over medium heat until it’s browned and thoroughly cooked.
3. While the sausage cooks, scramble the eggs in a separate bowl.
4. Next, cut the Hawaiian buns in half and arrange the bottom halves in a baking dish.
5. Layer the cooked sausage generously over the buns, followed by the scrambled eggs, pepper jack cheese, and slices of American cheese.
6. Place the top halves of the buns on top and then brush with the melted butter.
7. Drizzle the maple syrup over the assembled sliders for that sweet touch.
8. Cover the dish with foil, and bake for 15 minutes.
9. Remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the buns turn golden brown.
10. Serve warm, and enjoy the happy faces around you!

Best ways to enjoy it

Serve your Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sliders warm and straight from the oven. They pair beautifully with fresh fruit, crisp hash browns, or a side of mixed greens for a balanced meal. For an extra treat, why not whip up a breakfast smoothie or coffee to round out your brunch experience?

Keeping leftovers fresh

If you have any sliders left, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing them. Wrap each slider individually and place them in a freezer-safe bag, where they can last for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat, simply reheat them in the oven or microwave until warmed through.

Helpful cooking tips

• For extra flavor, season your eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper before scrambling.
• You can prepare the assembly of sliders in advance and keep them in the fridge until you’re ready to bake, making mornings even easier.
• If you’re a fan of spice, consider adding sliced jalapeños or pepper flakes to kick things up a notch.

Creative twists

Feel free to switch up the ingredients! You could use turkey or chicken sausage for a healthier option, or throw in some sautéed bell peppers or onions for added depth of flavor. For a different twist, try using different bun types like pretzel or whole wheat for varying tastes and textures.
