Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Dairy
- 24 ounces ground pork sausage (approximately 2 breakfast sausage rolls, like Jimmy Dean)
- 8 large eggs, scrambled
- 6 slices pepper jack cheese
- 8 slices American cheese
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Breads
- 12 Hawaiian buns (or other slider buns)
Other
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and let it heat up while you prepare the sliders.
- Cook Sausage Patties: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Form the ground pork sausage into 12 patties, making each slightly larger than a dinner roll. Cook them in the skillet until fully cooked through, ensuring there is no pink remaining inside.
- Prepare Buns: Using a serrated knife, carefully slice each Hawaiian bun in half lengthwise without detaching the halves. Arrange the bottom halves in a 7×10-inch or 9×13-inch baking dish and set the tops aside.
- Assemble Sliders: Spoon the scrambled eggs evenly over the bottom halves of the buns. Layer the pepper jack cheese slices over the eggs. Place one cooked sausage patty on top of the pepper jack, then add a slice of American cheese. Finally, gently place the top halves of the buns over the layers.
- Brush with Maple Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with maple syrup. Generously brush this mixture over the tops of the assembled buns, allowing some to drip down the sides and soak into the bottoms.
- Bake: Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted and the tops are golden from the maple butter glaze.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and serve warm. These sliders are perfect for breakfast gatherings, tailgating parties, or make-ahead meals.
- Make-Ahead Tips: For tailgating or easy transport, use a disposable foil pan or wrap each slider individually in foil to keep warm. Sliders can be fully assembled a day ahead and baked just before serving to save time.
Notes
- Use Hawaiian buns for the classic sweet flavor but any slider buns will work.
- You can swap pepper jack and American cheese for cheddar or your favorite breakfast cheese.
- Ensure sausage patties are fully cooked to avoid any food safety issues.
- Brush the maple butter generously for a sweet and savory glaze that enhances flavor and browning.
- These sliders are great for batch cooking and can be refrigerated and reheated.
