Ingredients needed

All the ingredients for these breakfast sliders.
  • Bacon: I like to use a thick-cut smoky bacon.
  • Sausage: I prefer a pork breakfast sausage but turkey sausage will also work.
  • Hawaiian rolls: These can be swapped for other slider rolls or leftover dinner rolls.
  • Eggs: I used large eggs.
  • Heavy cream: or milk
  • Butter: Salted or unsalted works here.
  • American cheese slices: You can use any cheese you prefer.
  • Maple syrup: Real maple syrup is best.
  • Everything Bagel Seasoning: optional but can be swapped for just poppy seeds if desired

How to make Breakfast Sliders

Bacon cooked in a skillet then ground sausage.
  • Step 1: In a large skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove bacon and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Step 2: In the same skillet, add the breakfast sausage and cook until brown. Remove and let drain on the towel lined plate.
Eggs in a bowl being whisked then placed in a skillet to cook.
  • Step 3: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add eggs and milk. Whisk until combined.

  • Step 11: In a small bowl, melt the rest of the butter and mix the maple syrup in until well combined.

Recipe Tips

  • You can use loose-ground breakfast sausage or break up breakfast sausage patties.
  • Since the eggs will be baking a bit more in the oven, don’t overcook them in the original pan.
  • If the tops of your sweet Hawaiian rolls start to brown while still baking, cover or tent with some aluminum foil.
  • You can make these ahead of time by cooking and assembling through step 12, and storing them in the fridge until ready to bake, or you can bake them and then store them to reheat later.
