Ingredients

12 soft dinner rolls
6 large eggs
1 lb breakfast sausage

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until fully browned and crumbled, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a separate pan over medium heat, then pour in the egg mixture. Scramble the eggs until they’re fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes. Set the eggs aside.
Slice the dinner rolls in half, keeping them attached, and place the bottom half in a baking dish.
Layer the cooked sausage evenly over the bottom buns, followed by the scrambled eggs, and then place the cheese slices on top.
Place the top half of the rolls on the assembled sliders.
Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and brush it over the top of the rolls.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the sliders are warm and the cheese has melted.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes to get the tops slightly crispy.
Serve warm with optional condiments like hot sauce or ketchup.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes 12 breakfast sliders, which serves about 4-6 people, depending on how many sliders each person wants. From start to finish, it takes around 30-40 minutes to prepare these sliders, including the cooking time for the sausage and eggs.

Variations

For a healthier twist, I can swap out the sausage for turkey sausage or a plant-based sausage alternative.
I can experiment with different cheeses like Swiss, American, or pepper jack for added flavor.
If I’m craving a little more crunch, I can add sautéed onions or bell peppers to the sausage mixture.
For a fun spin, I can try using croissants or English muffins instead of dinner rolls for a different texture.

Storage/Reheating

To store these sliders, I simply place any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When I’m ready to enjoy them again, I reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until they’re heated through and the cheese is melted. I can also microwave them for a quicker option, but the oven tends to keep them from getting soggy.

FAQs

How can I make these sliders ahead of time?

I can prepare the sliders up to the baking step and cover them tightly with foil. Then, I can refrigerate them overnight and bake them in the morning. This makes for a super easy and convenient breakfast!

Can I use a different type of bread for these sliders?

Absolutely! I can swap the dinner rolls for Hawaiian rolls, sandwich bread, or even bagels if I prefer a different style of bread.

Are these sliders freezer-friendly?

Yes! I can freeze the sliders after baking and let them cool completely. To reheat, I just pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until they’re heated through.

Can I make these vegetarian?

Of course! I can skip the sausage and replace it with a vegetarian alternative, such as a veggie patty or sautéed mushrooms, for a delicious meatless version.

How can I add more flavor to the sliders?

To add extra flavor, I can sprinkle some garlic powder, onion powder, or fresh herbs like parsley or chives on the eggs before assembling the sliders. I can also add a drizzle of hot sauce or mustard for a zesty kick.
