Cooking Instructions:

Prepare the Sausage Patties

First things first, let’s get our sausage ready. You’ll want to take your 24 ounces of ground beef sausage and divide it into 12 equal portions. The easiest way to do this is to eyeball it, or if you have a kitchen scnon-alcoholic ale, you can weigh out about 2 ounces for each portion. Then, shape each portion into a small, thin patty that’s roughly the size of your slider buns. Don’t worry too much about making them perfectly round; they’ll shrink a little as they cook. Now, we need to cook these beauties. You can either pan-fry them in a skillet over medium heat until they’re nicely browned and cooked through, or if you’re making a big batch, you could bake them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper at around 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through. The goal is to have them cooked through and to render out some of that delicious sausage fat.

Scramble the Eggs

While the sausage is cooking or after it’s done, it’s time to get our eggs ready. In a medium bowl, whisk together your 8 large eggs. You can add a splash of milk or cream if you like your scrambled eggs extra fluffy, but it’s not strictly necessary. Season them lightly with salt and pepper. Now, melt a tablespoon or two of butter (or use a little of the reserved rendered sausage fat for extra flavor!) in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in your whisked eggs. Gently stir and fold the eggs with a spatula, allowing them to cook slowly. We’re aiming for soft, fluffy scrambled eggs, not rubbery ones. Cook them until they are just set but still a little moist. You’ll want to divide these scrambled eggs into 12 portions, similar to how you did with the sausage. You can do this by eye or by gently pressing them into 12 rough squares or circles that will fit onto your slider buns.

Assemble and Melt the Cheese

Now for the fun part – assembly! We’re going to get all our components ready to go. Take your 12 Hawaiian buns and carefully slice them in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves of the buns on a large baking sheet. Now, layer one cooked sausage patty on top of each bottom bun. On top of each sausage patty, add a portion of your scrambled eggs. This is where the cheese comes in! For the pepper jack cheese, you’ll want to place about half a slice on top of the eggs for 6 of your sliders. This will give those a nice little spicy kick. For the remaining 6 sliders, place one slice of American cheese on top of the eggs. The American cheese will melt beautifully and provide that classic, comforting gooeyness. Don’t worry if the eggs and sausage are a little uneven; it adds to the charm!

Butter and Bake the Sliders

Now, it’s time to prepare the tops of the buns and get them ready for their cheesy transformation. In a small bowl, combine your 1/2 cup of melted butter with the 1/4 cup of maple syrup. This is the secret ingredient that makes these sliders truly irresistible! Whisk it all together until it’s well combined. Using a pastry brush or a spoon, generously brush the cut sides of the top halves of the Hawaiian buns with this buttery maple mixture. Make sure to get good coverage so the tops get nice and golden brown and infused with that sweet and savory flavor. Now, carefully place the buttered top halves of the buns onto the assembled sliders. Don’t press down too hard just yet.

Melt and Serve

We’re almost there! To ensure everything melts together beautifully and the buns get delightfully toasted, we’re going to bake these sliders. Place the baking sheet with the assembled sliders into a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for about 8-12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and gooey, and the tops of the buns are lightly golden brown and toasted. Keep an eye on them to prevent them from burning. Once they’re out of the oven, let them sit for just a minute or two so you don’t burn your fingers. You can serve them as is, or if you like, you can gently press down on them with a spatula to compact them slightly. These Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sliders are perfect for a hearty breakfast, brunch, or even a fun appetizer! Enjoy every delicious bite!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the sausage and egg mixture a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to assemble, simply warm the mixture, cook your eggs (if you haven’t already), and build your sliders. This is a great way to save time on busy mornings.

What kind of sausage works best?

Beef breakfast sausage is a classic choice and works wonderfully. However, you can also use turkey sausage or even a spicy Italian sausage for a different flavor profile. Just ensure it’s cooked through before assembling your sliders.

Are these sliders spicy?

The base recipe isn’t inherently spicy, but you can easily add heat! Consider using a spicy breakfast sausage, adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the egg mixture, or topping your finished sliders with a dash of hot sauce or a slice of jalapeño.
