Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 12 slices of cooked breakfast sausage or bacon (turkey or vegetarian options available)
- 6 large eggs
- 6 slices of cheese (cheddar or your choice)
Bread Component:
- 12 slider buns
Seasoning and Cooking Fat:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Crack eggs into a mixing bowl, season with salt and pepper, then whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, pour in whisked eggs, and gently fold with a spatula until soft, creamy curds form.
- Split slider buns horizontally, creating top and bottom halves for easy layering.
- Arrange crispy cooked sausage or bacon on the bottom bun halves, creating a savory foundation.
- Spoon fluffy scrambled eggs directly onto the meat, ensuring even distribution across each slider.
- Layer cheese slices over warm eggs, allowing residual heat to slightly melt the cheese.
- Carefully place top bun halves over the cheese, pressing gently to secure the ingredients.
- Transfer assembled sliders onto a lined baking sheet, covering loosely with aluminum foil.
- Slide the baking sheet into a preheated 350°F oven, warming for approximately 10 minutes until cheese becomes gooey and buns are lightly toasted.
- Remove from oven, let cool for 2-3 minutes, then serve immediately while ingredients remain warm and flavors are most vibrant.
Notes
- Customize protein choices by swapping sausage or bacon with ham, turkey bacon, or plant-based alternatives for dietary preferences.
- Enhance flavor by adding a sprinkle of chives, green onions, or hot sauce to elevate the taste profile.
- Prep sliders ahead of time and store in the refrigerator, then reheat in the oven for a quick breakfast during busy mornings.
- Use gluten-free slider buns or lettuce wraps to make the recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
