How to Make Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sliders
1. Scramble the Eggs
Melt a small amount of butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Whisk the eggs until smooth, then cook slowly, gently lifting and folding until just set. Soft, slow cooking keeps them creamy.
2. Prep the Rolls
Place the connected rolls into a 9×13 baking dish to size them, then remove and slice the tops off in one piece. Set the tops aside and place the bottoms back into the dish.
3. Assemble the Sliders
Layer the rolls with:
- Scrambled eggs
- Slices of cheddar cheese
- One sausage patty per roll
- Another layer of cheese
Place the top half of the rolls back on.
4. Make the Maple Butter
Melt the remaining butter and whisk it together with maple syrup. Brush or pour the mixture evenly over the sliders, making sure it seeps into the edges and corners.
5. Bake
Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes, until heated through and the cheese is melted. Uncover and bake an additional 5–10 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
