Below the bun is a thick brown sausage patty covered with melted bright orange cheddar cheese that drips over the sides. Under the sausage is a layer of more melted cheddar cheese sitting on a white shoe-string potato layer, also covered in melted cheese against the bottom bun.

Ingredients

  • 9 slider buns
  • 9 sausage patties
  • 8 whole large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chives (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Step 2: Brown the sausage patties in a large skillet until cooked through.
  3. Step 3: Place the bottom halves of the slider buns in a 9-inch baking dish.
  4. Step 4: Spread half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the buns, then place a cooked sausage patty on each bun.
  5. Step 5: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  6. Step 6: Wipe most of the sausage grease from the skillet, then pour in the egg mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the eggs are mostly set but still soft.

  8. Step 8: Mix the melted butter and maple syrup, if using, and brush this mixture over the tops of the buns.
  9. Step 9: Bake the sliders in the oven until the cheese melts and the tops are golden brown, about 18–20 minutes.
  10. Step 10: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped chives if desired, and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

  • Use turkey sausage for a leaner option without sacrificing flavor.
  • Try adding a slice of tomato or avocado for a fresh twist.
  • Swap cheddar for pepper jack or mozzarella to change the flavor profile.
  • If you prefer your eggs firmer, cook them a bit longer before assembling the sliders.
  • Brush the buns with plain melted butter if you want to skip the maple syrup.

Storage

Store leftover breakfast sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or microwave individual sliders until heated through. For best texture, avoid reheating in the microwave too long to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

Scale

Savory Sliders

  • 9 slider buns
  • 9 sausage patties
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Egg Mixture

  • 8 whole large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chives (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the assembled sliders.
  2. Cook Sausage Patties: Brown the sausage patties in a large skillet over medium heat, cooking them thoroughly until no longer pink inside and nicely browned on the outside.
  3. Prepare Baking Dish: While the sausages cook, place the bottom halves of the slider buns in a 9-inch baking dish, creating the base layer for the sliders.
  4. Assemble Layers: Spread half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the bottom buns, then place one cooked sausage patty on top of each bun.
  5. Make Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until combined and slightly frothy.
  6. Scramble Eggs: Remove most of the sausage grease from the skillet, then pour in the egg mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the eggs are mostly set but still soft and creamy.
  7. Add Eggs and Cheese: Layer the scrambled eggs evenly over the sausage patties, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  8. Top Sliders: Place the top halves of the slider buns over the cheese layer, completing the slider assembly.
  9. Glaze Buns: Mix the melted butter and maple syrup, then brush this glaze over the tops of the slider buns for a golden, slightly sweet finish.
  10. Bake Sliders: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tops of the buns have turned golden brown.
  11. Garnish and Serve: Remove sliders from the oven, sprinkle with fresh chives if desired, and serve hot for a delicious breakfast treat.
