Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sliders

Ingredients:

  • 24 ounces ground pork sausage (2 breakfast sausage rolls, like Jimmy Dean)
  • 12 Hawaiian buns or other slider buns
  • 8 large eggs, scrambled
  • 6 slices pepper jack cheese
  • 8 slices American cheese
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare Sausage Patties

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Form Patties: Warm a large skillet over medium heat. Form the ground pork sausage into 12 patties, each slightly larger than one slider bun.
  3. Cook Patties: Add the sausage patties to the skillet and cook until completely cooked through, flipping halfway. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Buns

  1. Slice Buns: Using a serrated knife, carefully cut the Hawaiian buns in half lengthwise without separating the individual rolls. Place the bottom halves of the rolls in a 7×10-inch or 9×13-inch baking dish, keeping them connected. Set the tops aside.

Step 3: Assemble Sliders

  1. Layer Eggs: Evenly scoop the scrambled eggs onto the bottom halves of the rolls.
  2. Add Cheese and Sausage:
    • Place a slice of pepper jack cheese on top of the scrambled eggs.
    • Add a sausage patty on top of each slice of pepper jack cheese.
    • Place a slice of American cheese on top of each sausage patty.
  3. Top with Buns: Carefully place the top halves of the buns over the cheese and sausage layers.

Step 4: Prepare Glaze

  1. Combine Butter and Syrup: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and maple syrup until well combined.
  2. Brush Glaze: Brush the butter and maple syrup mixture over the tops of the buns, allowing the sauce to drip down the sides and into the bottom of the baking dish. Use the entire amount to ensure thorough coverage.

Step 5: Bake and Serve

  1. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  2. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious breakfast sliders!

Tailgating Tips:

  • For On-the-Go: Use a disposable foil pan for easy transport and cleanup.
  • Keep Warm: Wrap sliders individually in foil to keep them warm during transport.
  • Make Ahead: Prepare the sliders a day ahead and store them in the refrigerator. Pop them in the oven to bake just before serving.

Notes:

  • Customization: Feel free to customize the cheese or add other ingredients like sautéed onions or spinach for added flavor.
  • Bun Alternatives: If you prefer, you can use other types of buns such as whole wheat or brioche.
