Ingredients
Scale
- 8 sausage patties (cooked and halved)
- 8 bacon slices (cooked and chopped)
- 6 large eggs
- 12 slider buns (Hawaiian rolls or similar)
- 8 cheese slices (cheddar or American)
- ¼ cup milk or cream
- 1 tbsp butter (for scrambling eggs)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Preparation: Configure oven to 350F (175C) and ready a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease.
- Egg Transformation: Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper into a smooth mixture, then gently scramble in a nonstick skillet with butter until just set.
- Slider Assembly: Carefully separate slider buns, keeping bottom halves connected in the baking dish, and create a uniform egg layer across the base.
- Protein Placement: Strategically distribute chopped bacon and halved sausage patties over the egg foundation, then blanket completely with cheese slices.
- Bun Topping: Crown the filling with upper bun halves and prepare a flavor-intensive glaze by mixing melted butter, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
- Glazing Technique: Brush glaze generously over slider tops, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
- Baking Process: Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes, then uncover and continue baking 5-7 minutes until buns turn golden and cheese melts thoroughly.
- Final Touch: Optional garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately while piping hot.
Notes
- Egg Texture Mastery: Cook eggs gently to prevent overcooking, removing from heat when just set to maintain creamy, soft consistency.
- Bacon Prep Perfection: Crisp bacon beforehand to prevent soggy texture and enhance overall slider crunchiness.
- Cheese Distribution Technique: Layer cheese evenly to guarantee complete melting and consistent flavor in every bite.
- Glaze Application Pro: Brush glaze generously but carefully to prevent excessive soaking of bun bottoms while ensuring maximum flavor infusion.
