Ingredients
– 12 slider buns for the base
– 8 large eggs for the protein center
– 1/4 cup (60 ml) cream or milk for creamy eggs
– 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt for seasoning
– 1/2 pound (225g) breakfast sausage for savory depth
– 8-10 slices sharp cheddar cheese for a cheesy layer
– 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, melted for browning
– 1/2 tablespoon (7.5 ml) maple syrup for sweetness
Instructions
1-First Step: Preheat and Prepare the Pan Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a 7×11 inch pan with parchment paper. This step ensures even baking and easy removal later, which is great for busy cooks aiming for less mess.
2-Second Step: Mix and Bake the Eggs Whisk together 8 large eggs, 1/4 cup (60 ml) cream or milk, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt in a bowl until well combined. Pour this mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 13-16 minutes until the eggs are set, then let them cool for 5 minutes before lifting out with the parchment, adapting as needed for dietary tweaks like egg substitutes.
3-Third Step: Cook the Sausage While the eggs bake, brown 1/2 pound (225g) breakfast sausage over medium heat in a skillet. Once done, drain any excess grease to keep the sliders from becoming too oily, and consider using alternatives like ham for a lighter option that still fits various tastes.
4-Fourth Step: Assemble the Sliders Place the bottom halves of 12 slider buns into the same 7×11 inch pan. Layer the baked eggs, cooked sausage, and 8-10 slices of sharp cheddar cheese over the buns, then top with the remaining bun halves for a stacked effect that’s easy to customize.
5-Fifth Step: Add the Glaze and Bake In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons (30g) melted unsalted butter with 1/2 tablespoon (7.5 ml) maple syrup. Brush this evenly over the bun tops, cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil, and bake for 20 minutes. For the final touch, remove the foil and bake an additional 5 minutes until the cheese melts and the tops toast nicely, adjusting times for preferences like a crisper finish.
6-Sixth Step: Serve and Enjoy Once out of the oven, let the sliders cool slightly before serving to make them easier to handle. They take about 15 minutes to prep and 35 minutes to cook, totaling 50 minutes, which is perfect for quick breakfast slider ideas on hectic days, and you can add extras like veggies for more nutrition as desired.
