Cooking Instructions:
First things first, let’s get our sausage cooked. You’ll want to take your two rolls of breakfast sausage and break them up into a skillet over medium heat. Use a spatula or a wooden spoon to crum extractble the sausage as it cooks. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is fully browned and no pink remains. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes. Once it’s cooked through, drain off any excess grease. This is an important step to prevent your sliders from becoming too oily. You can either tilt the pan and spoon out the grease, or you can transfer the cooked sausage to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the fat.
While the sausage is draining, it’s time to get our eggs ready. In a medium bowl, whisk together the 8 large eggs. You can add a splash of milk or cream if you like your eggs extra fluffy, but it’s not strictly necessary. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to your liking. Now, melt about a tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in your whisked eggs. Let them cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds to a minute, allowing the edges to set. Then, gently push the cooked edges towards the center with a spatula, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue this process until the eggs are just cooked through but still slightly moist. We don’t want them to be dry and rubbery, as they will continue to cook a little when assembled. Once cooked, remove the scrambled eggs from the skillet and set them aside.
Now for the buns! This is where the magic really starts to happen. You’ll want to take your 12 Hawaiian buns and slice them in half horizontally. A serrated knife works best for this to avoid squishing the soft buns. Carefully separate the top halves from the bottom halves. In a small bowl, whisk together your melted butter and maple syrup. This is our secret weapon for that irresistible sweet and savory flavor. Brush this mixture generously over the cut sides of both the top and bottom halves of the buns. This will give them a beautiful golden color and a delicious glaze when they’re baked.
Next, we’re going to assemble these beauties. Lay the bottom halves of the buns cut-side up on a large baking sheet. Evenly distribute the cooked sausage crum extractbles over the bottom halves of all 12 buns. Make sure you get a good amount of sausage on each one. Now, carefully spread the scrambled eggs over the sausage layer. Try to create an even layer so each slider gets a good portion of egg. This is also a good time to think about your cheese. We’re going to layer on both the pepper jack and American cheeses. Place 3 slices of pepper jack cheese over the eggs on every other bun. Then, place 4 slices of American cheese over the eggs on the remaining buns. You can also mix and match if you prefer! The combination of the spicy pepper jack and the creamy American cheese is fantastic.
Finally, it’s time to bring these sliders to life in the oven. Place the top halves of the buns, cut-side down, onto the assembled bottom halves. You should now have 12 fully assembled sliders. Pop the baking sheet into a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and gooey, and the buns are lightly golden and warmed through. Keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t burn. The aroma that fills your kitchen at this stage is absolutely heavenly!
Once they’re out of the oven, let them sit for just a minute or two before serving. This allows the cheese to set up slightly, making them easier to handle. You can either serve them individually or slice the entire sheet into smaller portions for a crowd. These Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sliders are truly a delightful way to start your day, or to enjoy any time you’re craving a truly satisfying bite. Enjoy every delicious mouthful!

What are some other cheese options I can use?
The possibilities are endless! Sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack for a little heat, provolone, or even a blend of your favorites would all be delicious. Just make sure the cheese melts well.
Can I use a different type of meat besides sausage?
Absolutely! Crispy beef bacon crum extractbles, diced beef ham, or even vegetarian sausage alternatives would work wonderfully in these breakfast sliders.
