Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sliders with Maple Syrup Glaze Recipe - Recipe Image

Ingredients

12 Hawaiian rolls
16 ounces breakfast sausage
6 large eggs
4 ounces Colby Jack cheese (slices)
Salt and pepper (to taste)
1 tablespoon butter (melted)
1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
Step 2: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula as it cooks. Once fully cooked, remove the sausage from the skillet and drain on paper towels if desired.
Step 3: Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, then scramble them. Lower the heat to low in the skillet and pour in the eggs. Cover and cook until set. Fold the edges inward to form a rectangle and remove from heat.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and maple syrup to create the syrup glaze.
Step 5: Slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally. Layer the bottom halves with eggs, cooked sausage, and cheese slices. Replace the tops of the rolls, then use a serrated knife to cut between each slider. Brush the syrup glaze evenly over the tops.
Step 6: Bake the sliders in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, until heated through and the cheese is melted.

Tips & Variations

For added flavor, try using spicy breakfast sausage or adding caramelized onions to the filling.
Substitute Colby Jack with cheddar or pepper jack cheese for a different taste.
Brush the tops with extra maple syrup after baking for a sweeter finish.
Prepare the sliders the night before and refrigerate; bake fresh in the morning.

Storage

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350˚F for 10-12 minutes or until warmed through to maintain the soft texture and melted cheese. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

Slider Components

12 Hawaiian rolls
16 ounces breakfast sausage
6 large eggs
4 ounces Colby Jack cheese (slices)
Salt and pepper, to taste

Syrup Glaze

1 tablespoon butter (melted)
1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350˚F to prepare for baking the assembled sliders later.
Cook the Sausage: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula as it cooks. Once fully cooked, remove the sausage from the pan and optionally drain on paper towels to remove excess grease.
Scramble the Eggs: Crack the eggs into the same skillet, season with salt and pepper, reduce the heat to low, and cook them covered until set. Then fold the cooked eggs into a rectangular shape and remove from heat.
Prepare the Syrup Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and maple syrup until fully combined for a sweet and buttery glaze.
Assemble the Sliders: Slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally. Layer each bottom half with the scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, and Colby Jack cheese slices. Replace the tops of the rolls and use a serrated knife to cut between each slider.
Apply the Glaze and Bake: Brush the syrup glaze generously over the tops of the sliders, then bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes until the sliders are hot and the cheese is melted.

Notes

You can substitute the Colby Jack cheese with cheddar or your favorite cheese for variation.
Drain the sausage well if you prefer less grease in your sliders.
Use a serrated knife to cut the sliders cleanly without squashing them.
These sliders can be made ahead and reheated in the oven before serving.
For a spicier option, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sausage while cooking.
