Ingredients

Scale

Slider Buns

  • 12 slider buns

Egg Mixture

  • 8 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)

Meats

  • ½ cup cooked bacon, crumbled
  • ½ cup breakfast sausage, crumbled (optional)

Cheese and Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • Fresh herbs (like chives or parsley) for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the sliders.
  2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a thin layer of butter to prevent sticking.
  3. Slice the Buns: Cut the slider buns in half horizontally without separating the halves and lay the bottom halves evenly in the baking dish.
  4. Cook the Meat (if using): In a skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled bacon and breakfast sausage until crispy and fully cooked, then drain any excess grease.
  5. Whisk the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and Dijon mustard (if using) until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  6. Cook the Egg Mixture: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and scramble over medium heat until just set and slightly undercooked, as the eggs will finish cooking in the oven.
  7. Assemble the Sliders: Evenly distribute the cooked bacon and sausage over the bottom bun halves. Layer the scrambled eggs on top of the meat, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
  8. Top with Buns: Place the top halves of the slider buns over the cheese layer to form the sliders.
  9. Brush with Butter: Brush the melted butter over the tops of the sliders to create a golden-brown finish and added flavor.
  10. Bake: Place the assembled sliders in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the buns turn golden brown.
  11. Cool Slightly: Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the sliders to cool for about 5 minutes to make slicing easier.
  12. Slice and Serve: Using a serrated knife, cut the sliders into individual portions. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve warm for the best taste.

Notes

  • Cooking the eggs until slightly underdone before baking helps keep them soft and moist.
  • Use fresh slider buns for best texture; day-old buns may be too dry.
  • Feel free to omit the sausage for a bacon-only version or vice versa depending on preference.
  • Dijon mustard is optional but adds a subtle tangy depth to the egg mixture.
  • Fresh herbs like chives or parsley add a nice pop of color and fresh flavor as a garnish.
  • These sliders are perfect for meal prep and can be refrigerated and reheated.
