Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how easy these breakfast sliders are to put together. The soft rolls, seasoned sausage, and cheesy eggs melt into a perfect bite-sized sandwich.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Ground breakfast sausage
Hawaiian slider buns (12-count)
Large eggs
Pepper Jack cheese slices
American cheese slices
Butter, melted
Maple syrup

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Shape the sausage into 12 small patties and cook in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked.
Scramble the eggs and cook them until just set.
Slice the slider buns horizontally, keeping the top and bottom connected. Place the bottom half in a baking dish.
Layer the scrambled eggs, Pepper Jack cheese, sausage patties, and American cheese on the rolls.
Add the top half of the buns.
Mix melted butter and maple syrup, then brush it generously over the tops.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden.

Servings and timing

Servings: 12 sliders
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes

Variations

I sometimes use turkey sausage or chicken patties instead of breakfast sausage.
For extra spice, I add jalapeño slices or hot sauce to the eggs.
If I’m out of Hawaiian rolls, soft dinner rolls or even mini croissants work well.
Swapping the cheeses for cheddar, mozzarella, or gouda gives a new twist every time.

Storage/reheating

Once the sliders cool, I store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, I use the oven or air fryer to keep the bread crispy and the cheese melty. I avoid microwaving since it can make them soggy. These sliders can also be frozen individually and reheated straight from the freezer.

FAQs

What kind of sausage works best?

I prefer using ground breakfast sausage shaped into patties, but any mild or spicy sausage works as long as it’s fully cooked.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, I often assemble them the night before and store them in the fridge. In the morning, I just bake and serve.

How can I keep them warm for serving?

I cover them loosely with foil and keep them in a warm oven (around 200°F) until ready to eat.

Do they freeze well?

They do. After baking, I let them cool, then wrap and freeze them individually. Reheating in the oven keeps them tasting fresh.

Can I use different cheeses?

Definitely. I’ve tried cheddar, Swiss, and provolone, and they all melt beautifully and taste great.

Conclusion

These cheesy breakfast sliders are one of my favorite go-to morning recipes. They’re simple to make, easy to customize, and perfect for both casual breakfasts and special brunches. The combination of sausage, eggs, and melted cheese wrapped in a soft roll is always a win.
