Ingredients
Scale
- 12 slider buns or dinner rolls (about 1 package)
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup (60ml) milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (15g) butter
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup (113g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup (113g) shredded pepper jack cheese (for extra kick)
- 3 tablespoons (42g) butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- Hot sauce or salsa (optional, for serving)
- 1/4 cup (40g) diced bell peppers (optional)
- 1/4 cup (40g) diced onions (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Cook your bacon until crispy using your preferred method (stovetop, oven, or microwave), then drain on paper towels and crumble into bits. If you’re using bell peppers and onions, sauté them in a small pan until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Step 2: Make the Scrambled Eggs In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Heat a tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, gently stirring occasionally with a spatula, until eggs are just set but still slightly moist, about 3-4 minutes. They should be soft and fluffy, not dry. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Step 3: Prepare the Slider Buns Without separating the individual rolls, use a large serrated knife to slice the entire sheet of slider buns horizontally. Place the bottom half in your prepared baking dish. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and dried parsley.
- Step 4: Assemble Your Sliders Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the bottom layer of buns. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top of the eggs, distributing evenly. If you’re using sautéed peppers and onions, add them now. Sprinkle both cheeses evenly over the bacon layer, making sure to reach the edges for maximum melt factor.
- Step 5: Bake to Perfection Place the top half of the buns over the cheese layer. Brush the tops generously with the seasoned butter mixture, making sure to get into all the crevices between the buns. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 5-7 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is completely melted.
- Step 6: Serve and Enjoy Let the **Cowboy Breakfast Sliders** cool for 5 minutes before serving. This brief rest allows the layers to settle and makes them easier to separate. Use a sharp knife to cut along the seams of the rolls to separate into individual sliders. Serve warm with hot sauce or salsa on the side for an authentic cowboy kick.
