Ingredients
Scale
- 8 sausage patties (cooked and halved)
- 8 bacon slices (cooked and chopped)
- 6 large eggs
- 8 cheese slices (cheddar or American)
- 12 slider buns (Hawaiian rolls or similar)
- ¼ cup milk or cream
- 1 tbsp butter (for scrambling eggs)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350F (175C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or a light grease coating.
- Egg and Meat Foundation: Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in a skillet and gently scramble eggs until barely set. In the same skillet, crisp bacon and warm sausage patties.
- Slider Assembly: Slice slider buns horizontally while keeping them connected. Layer the bottom halves in the prepared dish, then evenly spread scrambled eggs, chopped bacon, and halved sausage patties across the surface.
- Cheese and Topping Layer: Arrange cheese slices over the meat, covering completely. Position the top bun halves over the cheese layer.
- Flavor Glaze: Blend melted butter, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika in a small bowl. Brush the mixture generously over the slider tops, ensuring full coverage.
- Baking Process: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes. Uncover and continue baking for 5-7 minutes until buns turn golden and cheese melts thoroughly.
- Final Touch: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately while piping hot.
Notes
- Optimize Egg Texture: Slightly undercook scrambled eggs during initial preparation, as they’ll continue cooking in the oven, preventing dry, rubbery consistency.
- Cheese Melting Technique: Use room temperature cheese slices for uniform melting and ensure complete coverage across meat layers for maximum flavor distribution.
- Customize Meat Options: Swap bacon and sausage with turkey bacon, vegetarian sausage, or plant-based alternatives to accommodate different dietary preferences and restrictions.
- Glaze Application Strategy: Brush glaze generously but evenly, focusing on complete bun surface coverage to enhance overall flavor profile and achieve beautiful golden-brown color.
