Ingredients
Scale
Slider Sliders
- 9 slider buns
- 9 sausage patties
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chives (optional garnish)
Egg Mixture
- 8 whole large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the assembled sliders.
- Cook Sausage Patties: Brown the sausage patties in a large skillet over medium heat until they’re cooked thoroughly and no longer pink inside, ensuring they are safe to eat.
- Arrange Slider Buns: While the sausages cook, place the bottom halves of the slider buns evenly in a 9-inch baking dish to form the base of your sliders.
- Add Cheese and Sausage: Spread half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the slider buns, then place one cooked sausage patty on top of each bun bottom.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, crack the eggs and add milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Whisk the mixture well until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Scramble the Eggs: Wipe most of the grease from the skillet used for the sausages, then pour in the egg mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the eggs are mostly set but still soft and creamy—not hard or overcooked.
- Layer Eggs and Cheese: Spoon the scrambled eggs evenly over the sausage patties in the baking dish. Then sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs. Place the top halves of the slider buns over the cheese layer, covering the sliders.
- Brush with Butter and Maple Syrup: Combine the melted butter with optional maple syrup. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the slider buns to create a glossy, flavorful glaze.
- Bake the Sliders: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the tops of the buns turn golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the sliders from the oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh chives for color and freshness, and serve hot for a satisfying breakfast or brunch.
Notes
- You can substitute the sausage patties with turkey or chicken sausage for a leaner option.
- The maple syrup in the butter glaze is optional but adds a lovely sweetness that complements the savory ingredients.
- Make sure not to overcook the scrambled eggs; they should be soft to maintain moisture in the sliders.
- These sliders can be prepared the night before and baked fresh in the morning for convenience.
