Instructions
1. Prepare the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Cook the Sausage:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles.
- Drain excess grease and set aside.
3. Make the Scrambled Eggs:
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat.
- Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring occasionally until the eggs are just set but still soft.
- Remove from heat.
4. Assemble the Sliders:
-
Cut the Rolls:
- Without separating the rolls, slice them in half horizontally.
- Place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish.
-
Layer the Ingredients:
- Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the bottom layer of rolls.
- Add the scrambled eggs on top of the sausage.
- Layer cheese slices evenly over the eggs.
- Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese.
5. Make the Butter Topping:
- In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley.
6. Bake the Sliders:
-
Brush and Bake:
- Generously brush the butter topping over the rolls.
- Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
-
Brown the Tops:
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the tops are golden brown.
-
Serve:
- Let the sliders cool slightly, then cut and serve warm.
Notes
- Make Ahead: Assemble the sliders the night before, cover, and refrigerate. In the morning, add the butter topping and bake.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
- Variations: Swap sausage for bacon or ham, and try different cheeses like Swiss, pepper jack, or mozzarella.
