Cooking Instructions

This recipe comes together surprisingly quickly, making it ideal even when you’re short on time. The key is to have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go.

First, let’s get our sausage patties ready. You want to break up those two rolls of breakfast sausage. I find the easiest way to do this is with my hands, gently separating the meat into a large bowl. You’re aiming for a relatively uniform consistency. Once the sausage is broken up, you’ll want to divide it into 12 equal portions. I like to eyeball it, but if you want to be precise, you can use a kitchen scnon-alcoholic ale to weigh out roughly 2 ounces of sausage per portion. Once you have your portions, gently shape each one into a thin patty that is roughly the size of your slider buns. Don’t worry about making them perfectly round; they’ll shrink a bit as they cook. You can even lightly press a dimple in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up too much while cooking.

Next, it’s time to cook those delicious sausage patties. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. You likely won’t need to add any oil, as the sausage will render its own fat. Carefully place the sausage patties into the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. You’ll probably have to cook them in batches. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are nicely browned and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C). As the patties finish cooking, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess grease. This step helps keep our sliders from being too greasy.

While the sausage is cooking or draining, let’s get our eggs ready. In a medium bowl, crack your 8 large eggs. Add a splash of milk or cream if you like (though it’s not strictly necessary), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk them vigorously with a fork or a whisk until the yolks and whites are completely combined and slightly frothy. Now, melt about half of your butter (1/4 cup) in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the whisked eggs. You want to cook these gently, stirring them occasionally with a spatula. The key to fluffy scrambled eggs is not to overcook them. You’re looking for them to be soft, creamy, and just barely set. Remove them from the heat while they still look a little moist; they’ll continue to cook from the residual heat.

Now for the cheese. For our sliders, we’re using a combination of creamy American cheese and zesty pepper jack. This gives us both ultimate meltiness and a nice little kick. As soon as the sausage patties are done cooking and still warm, lay 6 slices of the pepper jack cheese over 6 of the warm patties. This will start to melt the cheese beautifully. On the remaining 6 sausage patties, lay 4 slices of American cheese, and then place the other 4 slices of American cheese on top of the pepper jack cheese. This creates a wonderfully gooey cheese layer.

The final assembly is where the magic truly happens. Take your 12 Hawaiian buns and slice them horizontally. You can do this with a serrated knife for a clean cut. Place the bottom halves of the buns cut-side up on a baking sheet. Now, carefully place one sausage patty (with its melty cheese) onto each bottom bun. Then, spoon a generous portion of your scrambled eggs on top of the sausage and cheese. Finally, top each slider with the remaining half of the Hawaiian bun. This is where the melted butter and maple syrup come in! Brush the tops of all the assembled sliders generously with the melted butter. Then, drizzle the maple syrup evenly over the buttered tops. This might sound a little unconventional, but trust me, the sweet and savory combination is out of this world!

Finally, we’re going to bake these beauties to perfection. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking sheet with the sliders into the preheated oven. Bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and toasted, and the cheese is fully melted and gooey. Keep an eye on them, as they can go from perfectly toasted to overdone very quickly. Once they’re out of the oven, let them cool for just a minute or two before serving. These are best enjoyed warm, so don’t wait too long! The combination of the savory sausage, fluffy eggs, spicy and creamy cheese, and the slightly sweet, buttery, maple-kissed bun is simply divine. Each bite is a perfect symphony of textures and flavors, making these sliders a truly unforgettable breakfast treat.

Maybe even a dash of hot sauce for a kick! I truly encourage you to give this recipe a try; I’m confident you’ll find it to be a new breakfast favorite.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

Yes, you absolutely can! You can cook the sausage and eggs ahead of time and store them separately in the refrigerator. Reheat them gently before assembling the sliders. You can also assemble them entirely and then reheat them in a low oven (around 300°F or 150°C) until warmed through, though the buns might lose a little crispness.

What kind of cheese works best?

While cheddar is a classic and melts beautifully, feel free to explore! Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, or even a slice of Provolone would be delicious additions. The key is to choose a cheese that melts well and complements the other flavors.

Are there any vegetarian options?

Certainly! You can easily adapt this recipe by using a plant-based sausage alternative. Many excellent vegetarian sausage crum extractbles are available now that fry up just like traditional sausage.
