Ingredients

Hawaiian Sweet Rolls – Soft, slightly sweet rolls that hold everything together and bake up golden and buttery. You can also use any small slider buns if you prefer something less sweet.
Breakfast Sausage – Loose sausage adds savory flavor and hearty texture. Pork sausage works best, but you can use turkey or chicken sausage for a lighter option.
Bacon – Crispy bacon brings saltiness and crunch. I like to cut it into smaller pieces so it layers evenly across the sliders.
Eggs – The base of the filling, scrambled just until soft so they stay tender after baking.
Milk – Helps make the eggs creamy and fluffy. Any milk or unsweetened non-dairy alternative will work.
Cheddar Cheese – Melts beautifully and adds sharp, cheesy flavor. You can swap in American, pepper jack, or Swiss if you like.
Unsalted Butter – Brushed on top of the rolls before baking for a rich, golden finish.
Everything But the Bagel Seasoning – Adds crunch and flavor with sesame, garlic, and onion. If you don’t have it, a sprinkle of sesame seeds or poppy seeds works too.

Cook the bacon: Cut the bacon into 2-inch pieces and cook in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Brown the sausage: In the same skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set aside.

A bowl containing six raw eggs and milk on a white marble surface.

Scrambled eggs cooking in a white nonstick frying pan with a gold handle on a light marble countertop.

Whisk the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt until fully combined.
Scramble the eggs: Cook the egg mixture over medium-low heat, stirring gently, until just set but still slightly soft. Remove from heat.

Layer the sliders: Slice the rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected, and place the bottom half in a parchment-lined baking dish. Evenly layer the scrambled eggs, sausage, and bacon over the rolls.
Add the cheese: Place cheddar slices or shredded cheese evenly over the filling, then add the top half of the rolls.

Substitutions & Variations

Here are some of my favorite substitutions and variations:

Protein Options: I like using breakfast sausage and bacon together, but you can swap in ham, turkey sausage, or even crumbled veggie sausage for a lighter version.
Cheese Choices: Cheddar melts beautifully, but you can also try pepper jack for a little spice or Swiss for a milder flavor. Use what you have on hand.
Bread Swaps: Hawaiian rolls add a touch of sweetness, but plain slider buns, brioche, or even mini croissants work great too.

What to Serve with Breakfast Sliders

Breakfast

These Breakfast Sliders make a hearty centerpiece for any morning spread. We like serving them with a side of Soft Scrambled Eggs With Cheese for extra creaminess or crispy Bacon & Potato Latkes for a savory crunch.
If you’re planning a sweet and savory mix, pair the sliders with Strawberry Scones With Lemon Glaze or wrap up leftovers alongside Spicy Bacon and Eggs Breakfast Burritos for easy grab-and-go mornings.

Brunch Dishes

For a casual brunch, these sliders fit right in next to Puff Pastry Sausage Bites or a platter of Brie with Fig Jam, Almonds and Berries.

FAQs

Can I use a different kind of meat?

Yes. You can swap the breakfast sausage for ham, turkey sausage, or even cooked chorizo for a little spice. Just make sure the meat is fully cooked before layering it into the sliders.

What kind of cheese works best?

Cheddar melts beautifully, but you can use any cheese you like. Pepper jack adds a little heat, while Swiss or provolone gives a milder flavor.

Can I prepare these ahead of time?

You can assemble the sliders the night before, cover them tightly, and refrigerate. In the morning, brush with melted butter, add the seasoning, and bake as directed.

How long do they keep and how should I store them?

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 325°F for 8–10 minutes or in the air fryer for 3–4 minutes until warmed through. You can also freeze them for up to 1 month, then thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
