Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 8 large eggs
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Cheeses and Dairy:
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking eggs)
Bread and Seasonings:
- 12 slider buns (Hawaiian rolls work great)
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the foundation by warming the oven to a moderate 350F (175C), ensuring an even heating environment for the sliders.
- Transform the breakfast sausage into delicate crumbles by sautéing over medium heat, breaking down the meat into small, uniform pieces until achieving a rich golden-brown coloration.
- Create fluffy scrambled eggs by whisking with a subtle seasoning of salt and pepper, then gently cooking in the same skillet used for the sausage, maintaining a soft and creamy texture.
- Construct the slider base by carefully splitting the buns horizontally, arranging the bottom halves in a baking vessel, then methodically layering the cooked sausage, followed by scrambled eggs and cheese for maximum flavor integration.
- Craft an aromatic glaze by blending melted butter with Dijon mustard, maple syrup, garlic powder, onion powder, and a touch of salt and pepper, creating a harmonious mixture to enhance the sliders’ overall taste profile.
- Encase the assembled sliders with aluminum foil, baking initially to meld the flavors, then uncover to allow a golden-brown crust to develop, ensuring the cheese melts into a luxurious, stretchy coating.
- Allow the sliders a brief resting period after baking, then serve immediately to capture the optimal combination of warm, gooey cheese and perfectly seasoned ingredients.
Notes
- Prep Ahead: Assemble the sliders up to a day in advance and refrigerate, covered, to save time during busy mornings.
- Customize Protein: Swap breakfast sausage with crispy bacon, ham, or vegetarian sausage crumbles for different flavor profiles.
- Cheese Variations: Experiment with sharp cheddar, pepper jack, or Swiss cheese to match personal taste preferences and add extra zest.
