Description
Is there anything better than a breakfast that hits every single craving at once? These Ultimate Breakfast Sliders are the perfect collision of salty, savory, cheesy, and sweet. By layering fluffy scrambled eggs, savory sausage, and crispy bacon with melting cheese on King’s Hawaiian rolls, you create a hearty filling. But the real secret is the sticky, sweet maple glaze topped with savory bagel seasoning. This handheld brunch transforms the morning rush into a gourmet experience.
Ingredients
The Sliders:
- 1 pack (12 count) King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
- 1/2 lb Breakfast Sausage, browned and crumbled
- 9 slices Bacon, cooked until crispy
- 6 large Eggs, scrambled softly
- 6-8 slices American Cheese
- 1 cup Colby Jack Cheese, shredded
The Glaze:
- 1/2 stick (4 tbsp) Unsalted Butter, melted
- 1 TBSP Maple Syrup
- 1-2 TBSP Everything But The Bagel Seasoning
Instructions
-
Pre-Cook the Proteins: Cook the bacon until crispy. Brown the sausage and break into crumbles. Scramble the eggs until just set but still moist (do not overcook).
-
Prepare the Rolls: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Keeping the rolls connected, slice the entire slab horizontally to create a top and bottom layer. Place the bottom slab into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
-
Layer Cheeses and Meats: Place slices of American cheese directly onto the bottom bread. Layer the sausage crumbles evenly over the cheese, followed by the soft scrambled eggs.
-
Add Bacon and Topping: Top the eggs with shredded Colby Jack cheese. Arrange the bacon slices across the top (break them up to ensure even coverage). Place the slab of top buns back on.
-
The Maple Butter Glaze: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and maple syrup. Brush generously over the tops of the rolls.
-
Season and Bake: Sprinkle the bagel seasoning liberally over the buttered tops. Bake for about 15 minutes until cheese is melted and tops are golden brown.
-
Serve: Let sit for 2 minutes to set. Slice along the grid lines and serve hot with extra syrup for dipping.
Notes
- Egg Texture: Undercook the scrambled eggs slightly during the prep stage. They should be soft and moist because they will firm up while baking. If you cook them dry in the pan, they will be rubbery in the slider.
- No Soggy Bottoms: Placing the American cheese slices directly on the bottom buns creates a barrier that prevents the bread from getting soggy from the eggs and meat.
- Bacon Coverage: Criss-cross the bacon or break it into smaller pieces so that every single slider gets a satisfying bite of crunch.
- Efficiency: This recipe yields 12 sandwiches in the time it takes to make a single round of pancakes, making it perfect for crowds.
