Bacon Sausage Breakfast Sliders

This warm and satisfying slider dish is a go-to for mornings when you want something hearty but easy to prepare. Layers of fluffy eggs, crisp bacon, savory sausage, and melty cheese are tucked into soft Hawaiian rolls and baked to golden perfection. I rely on these for weekend brunches and make-ahead weekday meals alike. They reheat beautifully and everyone in the family loves them.

I first made these for a holiday brunch and now they’re a tradition. Everyone expects them and I never have leftovers.

Ingredients

• Bacon: diced and crisped for salty crunch
• Breakfast sausage: adds richness and savory depth
• Hawaiian rolls: soft and slightly sweet with the perfect bite
• Eggs: the fluffy base that ties everything together
• Heavy cream: makes the scrambled eggs extra tender
• Fine sea salt: balances the savory layers
• American or cheddar cheese: offers a creamy melt and familiar flavor
• Butter: brushed on top for a golden crust
• Maple syrup: just a touch for sweet glaze
• Everything bagel seasoning: adds texture and flavor if desired

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

Set your oven to 350 degrees and prepare a baking sheet with parchment or a light coat of oil to prevent sticking

Cook the Bacon and Sausage:

Place the diced bacon in a skillet over medium heat and cook until golden and crisp Transfer to a paper towel lined plate Drain the grease if needed then brown the sausage in the same pan breaking it into small bits for even flavor

Scramble the Eggs:

In a bowl whisk together the eggs cream and salt Melt one tablespoon of butter in the skillet and cook the eggs on medium heat Stir gently until just set soft and moist

Assemble the Sliders:

Cut the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally keeping the slab intact Lay the bottom layer on your prepared sheet Spread the eggs across evenly then top with sausage bacon and cheese Lay the top slab back on to complete the sliders

Add the Glaze and Bake:

Melt the remaining butter and stir in maple syrup Brush the tops of the rolls with this mixture Optionally sprinkle with everything seasoning Bake uncovered for about 15 minutes or until golden and melty Tent with foil if the tops brown too quickly

Serve:

Let the sliders cool for five minutes before slicing and serving This helps the layers stay together and makes them easier to handle

Save

My favorite part is how the cheese melts into the eggs and meats My youngest always steals a slider before they hit the table and I can’t blame him they smell amazing coming out of the oven

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days To reheat pop them in the oven or toaster oven until warmed through for the best texture They can also be frozen individually then wrapped and reheated from frozen for a quick breakfast solution

Ingredient Substitutions

You can swap the sausage for turkey or a plant based version Cheddar or pepper jack add different flavor kicks and Swiss melts beautifully too Spinach or bell peppers can be mixed into the eggs if you want some veggies and brioche rolls work great in place of Hawaiian ones

Serving Suggestions

Serve these sliders with fruit salad or hash browns for a full brunch spread They are also great on a breakfast board with yogurt cups and fresh juices I sometimes wrap one in foil and take it to go with my coffee when mornings are hectic
