Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 12 slider buns (preferably Hawaiian rolls)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the breakfast sausage. Use a spatula to break it apart into small pieces as it cooks.
- Cook the sausage for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is browned and fully cooked. Make sure there are no pink bits left.
- Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat and drain any excess grease. Set the sausage aside in a bowl.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 8 large eggs.
- Add the milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the eggs. Whisk everything together until well combined and frothy.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, mixing until the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.
- In the same skillet used for the sausage, pour in the egg mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring gently with a spatula.
- Continue to cook the eggs for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are just set but still slightly soft. Be careful not to overcook them, as they will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the heat.
- Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Take the slider buns and slice them in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms connected. You can do this by placing them in a baking dish.
- Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the bottom half of the slider buns.
- Next, layer the scrambled eggs over the sausage, spreading them out evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce together. Brush this mixture generously over the top half of the slider buns.
- Place the top half of the buns back on top of the egg and sausage layers.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent the sliders from browning too quickly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and crispy.
- Once done, remove the sliders from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before slicing them apart.
- Transfer the sliders to a serving platter. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped chives or parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
- Serve warm and enjoy these delicious breakfast sliders with your favorite condiments, such as hot sauce or ketchup, if you like a little kick!
Notes
- If you want to add some veggies, consider sautéing some bell peppers or spinach along with the sausage for added flavor and nutrition.
- For a spicier version, use spicy breakfast sausage or add jalapeños to the egg mixture.
- Feel free to swap out the cheddar cheese for your favorite cheese, such as pepper jack or mozzarella.
