Ingredients
Slider Base
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- 6 slices cheddar cheese
- 12 large eggs, scrambled and cooked
- 12 ounces breakfast sausage (chicken or turkey), cooked
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Maple Butter Glaze
- ¾ cup maple syrup, divided
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- ¾ teaspoon poppy seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350° F (175° C) to prepare for baking the sliders.
- Prepare the buns: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally to separate the tops from the bottoms. Arrange the bottom halves evenly in a sheet pan or a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
- Layer the fillings: On the bottom halves, place the sliced cheddar cheese, followed by the cooked scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, and shredded cheddar cheese. Then cover with the top halves of the rolls.
- Melt the butter: Place butter in a small microwave-safe bowl and heat in 10-second increments, stirring after each, until fully melted.
- Make and apply the glaze: Mix ¼ cup of the maple syrup with 3 tablespoons of the melted butter. Use a pastry brush to evenly coat the tops of the sliders with this maple-butter glaze. Sprinkle the poppy seeds over the top.
- Bake the sliders: Lightly cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese has melted and the sliders are heated through.
- Serve: Slice the baked sliders into individual portions. Combine the remaining maple syrup and melted butter for a dipping sauce and serve alongside the sliders.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use real butter rather than margarine.
- Chicken or turkey sausage keeps the sliders lighter, but pork sausage can also be used if preferred.
- You can prepare the sausage and eggs in advance to save time in the morning.
- The glaze can be adjusted to taste by varying the amount of maple syrup or butter.
- These sliders are best served warm fresh from the oven for optimal gooey cheese.
