Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Sliders:
- 12 Hawaiian rolls: Soft and sweet, they’re the perfect base for these sandwiches.
- 16 ounces breakfast sausage: Adds hearty flavor. You can substitute with bacon or ham if preferred.
- 6 large eggs: Scrambled to perfection.
- 4 ounces Colby jack cheese (slices): Melty and delicious. Feel free to swap with your favorite cheese.
- Salt and pepper: To season the eggs.
For the Glaze:
- 1 tablespoon butter (melted): Adds richness to the glaze.
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup: A touch of sweetness that ties everything together.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat Your Oven
Set your oven to 350˚F (175˚C) to warm up while you prepare the sliders.
2. Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage. Use a spoon or spatula to crumble it as it cooks. Once browned and cooked through, remove it from the skillet. For less grease, you can drain it on a paper towel-lined plate.
3. Prepare the Eggs
Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk them, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the skillet heat to low and pour in the eggs. Cover the skillet and allow the eggs to cook gently until they set. Fold the edges in to form a rectangle, then remove from heat.
4. Make the Syrup Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and maple syrup until combined. This glaze will add a sweet finishing touch to your sliders.
5. Assemble the Sliders
Cut the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally to create a top and bottom layer. Place the bottom layer on a baking sheet or dish. Layer on the cooked eggs, crumbled sausage, and slices of Colby jack cheese. Top with the other half of the rolls.
6. Slice and Glaze
Using a serrated knife, cut between each roll to separate the sliders. Brush the tops generously with the maple syrup glaze.
7. Bake
Place the sliders in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until they’re hot and the cheese is melted. The glaze will create a slightly sticky, golden-brown topping.
Tips for Success
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh eggs, high-quality sausage, and soft Hawaiian rolls make all the difference.
- Keep an Eye on Baking Time: Ovens vary, so check your sliders around the 18-minute mark to avoid overcooking.
- Customize Your Sliders: Swap out sausage for bacon or ham, or try different cheeses like cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack for varied flavors.
