Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sliders: Delicious sliders with savory sausage, fluffy eggs, and gooey cheese. Quick, comforting, and crowd-pleasing!
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 slider buns or Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 8 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (medium or sharp)
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Sausage Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If using bulk breakfast sausage, press it into an even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, creating a rectangle roughly the size of your slider buns. Bake for 15-18 minutes until cooked through and no longer pink. Drain on paper towels to remove excess grease. Alternatively, if using pre-formed sausage patties, cook according to package directions, ensuring they’re slightly overlapping when placed on the buns.
- Step 2: Prepare the Eggs While the sausage cooks, crack 8 eggs into a bowl and whisk thoroughly with milk, salt, and pepper. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, gently stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula. Remember to remove from heat when eggs are still slightly wet – they’ll finish cooking in the oven. Let the eggs cool slightly before assembly.
- Step 3: Prepare the Butter Mixture In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with garlic powder, dried parsley, and onion powder. Stir well to combine. This flavorful mixture will add incredible depth to your Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sliders.
- Step 4: Assemble the Sliders Slice the entire package of slider buns horizontally, keeping them connected. Place the bottom half in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Layer with the cooked sausage, followed by the scrambled eggs, and then sprinkle evenly with shredded cheese. Place the top half of the buns over the cheese layer.
- Step 5: Bake to Perfection Brush the tops of the buns generously with the prepared butter mixture, allowing some to drip down the sides. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted. Let rest for 5 minutes before cutting into individual breakfast sliders and serving.
