Divide the sausage into 12 thin patties, slightly wider than the rolls. Cook in a large skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Cook in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, stirring gently, until softly set. Remove from the heat while the eggs still look slightly glossy.

Use a serrated knife to slice the rolls in half horizontally, keeping each slab connected. Place the bottom slab in the prepared baking dish.

Spread the scrambled eggs over the bottom rolls. Add the cheddar slices, sausage patties, and American or Colby Jack cheese. Place the top slab of rolls over the filling.

Stir the melted butter, maple syrup, and garlic powder if using. Brush the mixture evenly over the top rolls.

Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tops are glossy and golden. Rest for 5 minutes, sprinkle with chives or parsley if using, then slice into 12 sliders.
