Ingredients (Makes 12 Sliders)
Main Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon, diced
- ½ lb breakfast sausage
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- 8 large eggs
- ¼ cup heavy cream or whole milk
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- 6–8 slices American cheese (or cheddar/provolone)
Topping
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
- ½ tbsp pure maple syrup
- Everything bagel seasoning (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease it.
2. Cook Bacon and Sausage
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook diced bacon until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- In the same pan, add sausage and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3. Scramble the Eggs
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, and salt until well combined.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet over medium heat, add egg mixture, and cook gently until just set, stirring with a spatula.
4. Assemble the Sliders
- Slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally as one whole slab (do not separate rolls).
- Place the bottom half on the prepared baking sheet.
- Layer scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, and cheese slices evenly.
- Place the top half of the rolls back on.
5. Add Glaze and Bake
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter and mix in the maple syrup. Brush over the tops of the rolls.
- Sprinkle with Everything Bagel seasoning if using.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted. Cover loosely with foil if browning too fast.
6. Serve
Let the sliders rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with a side of fruit salad, hash browns, or yogurt parfaits.

Storage Tips
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
