I discovered these sliders when looking for a one-pan breakfast that wouldn’t leave me with a sink full of skillets. Now my friends expect them at every family brunch and even request them for special occasions.

  • Ground pork sausage: Use a good quality like Jimmy Dean for seasoned flavor forming into patties ensures an even bite in each slider
  • Hawaiian slider buns: Soft and slightly sweet opt for the freshest you can find this balances the richness of the filling
  • Large eggs: Fresh eggs will scramble up fluffier which helps hold the sliders together
  • Pepper jack cheese: Adds a little punch and meltiness if you like more spice choose a hot jalapeno variety
  • American cheese: Brings creamy texture and a classic breakfast burger taste go for real cheese slices over processed for best melt
  • Butter: Real butter brings richness when melted into the glaze choose unsalted so you can control the salt
  • Maple syrup: Pure maple syrup adds natural sweetness and helps caramelize the bun tops go for grade A for the best flavor

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit so it is piping hot and ready when you assemble the sliders
Cook the Sausage Patties:
In a large skillet over medium heat press the sausage into twelve even patties each just bigger than the slider buns this ensures no gaps and tidy layers cook on both sides until fully cooked and browned set aside on a plate lined with paper towels
Slice the Buns:
Use a sharp serrated knife to slice the entire dozen rolls in half horizontally keep the bottom and top slab intact this makes filling and topping so much easier
Assemble the Bottom Layers:
Arrange the bottom buns in a baking dish drizzle any pan drippings from the sausage onto the buns if you want added flavor spoon the scrambled eggs evenly across the rolls then layer pepper jack cheese over the eggs
Add the Sausage and American Cheese:
Place a sausage patty on each slider then fan out the American cheese slices to cover the patties ensuring every bite gets both cheeses
Finish the Assembly:
Carefully set the top slab of buns onto the stack press down very gently to settle the layers
Maple Butter Glaze:
Whisk together melted butter and maple syrup in a small bowl generously brush this mixture over the top buns letting the glaze drip down the sides and into the layers
Bake and Melt:
Slide the baking dish into your preheated oven bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the tops are deeply golden glossy and sticky
Serve Warm:
Remove the pan and let it cool for just a few minutes then slice and serve the sliders warm enjoy with extra napkins if you love oozy cheese

Sausage is my favorite ingredient here its herbed flavor works so well with sweet maple and creamy eggs I will never forget making these on my son’s birthday seeing him sneak back for seconds with a big grin is now one of my favorite kitchen memories

Storage and Reheating Tips

Let the sliders cool to room temperature before wrapping leftover portions tightly in foil or placing in airtight containers They keep fresh in the refrigerator for up to three days For longer storage wrap individually and freeze for up to one month To reheat place sliders in a low oven and cover with foil for gentle warming or use a microwave for thirty seconds at a time to avoid overcooking

Ingredient Swaps You Can Try

Feel free to swap out sausage for turkey sausage or even crumbled bacon for a different flavor Vegetarian options work too just use plant-based sausage patties and vegan cheese Monterey Jack or Swiss are both great cheese choices if pepper jack or American are not your favorites for the eggs a splash of milk added while scrambling makes for fluffier results

Serving Suggestions

These sliders love a crowd so serve them straight from the baking dish alongside fruit salad crispy breakfast potatoes or even a simple green salad For a sweet brunch table drizzle a little more warm maple syrup on top or dust with powdered sugar if you want a dessert-like twist They are also great tucked in lunchboxes wrapped in parchment
