Ingredients
Scale
Slider Layers
- 1 12-count package Hawaiian Rolls
- 6 tablespoons cream cheese (plain or onion & chive)
- 1/2 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 1/3 cup diced red bell peppers (optional)
- 6 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Cooking Essentials
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Butter Glaze
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to prepare for baking the assembled sliders.
- Slice Rolls: Using a serrated knife, carefully slice through all 12 Hawaiian rolls horizontally, creating one large top bun layer and one large bottom bun layer without separating the individual rolls.
- Prepare Pan: Grease an 8x11-inch baking pan and place the bottom buns layer inside. If you don’t have an 8x11 pan, a 9x13-inch pan works as well.
- Spread Cream Cheese: Evenly spread the cream cheese over the bottom layer of buns to add a creamy base.
- Cook Sausage and Peppers: In a saucepan over medium heat, brown the ground breakfast sausage along with the diced red bell peppers until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
- Make Scrambled Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and black pepper until smooth. Heat a skillet with the vegetable oil over medium heat and cook the egg mixture, stirring occasionally, until softly scrambled.
- Assemble Layers: Sprinkle the cooked sausage and pepper mixture over the cream cheese–coated bottom buns. Next, add the scrambled eggs evenly on top, followed by a generous layer of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Add Top Buns: Place the top buns layer over the assembled fillings, completing the slider assembly.
- Prepare Butter Glaze: Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the onion powder, black pepper, and dried parsley flakes until well combined.
- Brush Butter Mixture: Brush the butter glaze over the top of the buns, allowing it to soak in and add flavor and moisture.
- Bake Sliders: Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, slice individual sliders apart, and serve warm for a satisfying breakfast treat.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add some diced jalapeños to the sausage mixture.
- Substitute cream cheese with flavored varieties, like chive or garlic, for added taste.
- Ensure the rolls are sliced carefully to avoid tearing and keep the toppings contained.
- These sliders can be assembled the night before and baked fresh in the morning.
- Use turkey sausage for a leaner option to reduce fat content.
