Ingredients
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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the assembled sliders.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Make Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until combined and slightly frothy.
- 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.
- Add Eggs and Cheese: Layer the scrambled eggs evenly over the sausage patties, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Top Sliders: Place the top halves of the slider buns over the cheese layer, completing the slider assembly.
- 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.
- 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.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove sliders from the oven, sprinkle with fresh chives if desired, and serve hot for a delicious breakfast treat.
Notes
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese like Monterey Jack or Swiss.
- For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños or hot sauce to the scrambled eggs.
- Maple syrup in the butter glaze is optional but adds a lovely sweetness that complements the savory flavors.
- These sliders can be prepared a day ahead and baked just before serving to save time on busy mornings.
- Use gluten-free slider buns to make this recipe gluten-free if needed.
