Sausage Egg Buns

Morning Sliders blend juicy sausage, soft eggs, and melty cheese on pillowy Hawaiian rolls. They're a crowd-pleaser for your morning spread that everyone will dig into. The maple-butter topping takes them to another level, giving a sweet kick to balance out the hearty flavors.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

• Breakfast Sausage: 24 oz (2 rolls), formed into small patties as your tasty foundation
• Soft Hawaiian Rolls: 12 small buns, cut through the middle but kept together for quicker prep
• Eggs: 8 large ones, whipped up soft for the middle layer
• American Cheese: 8 slices to make everything gooey
• Pepper Jack Cheese: 6 slices for a bit of heat
• Syrup: 1/4 cup maple, combined with butter for that sweet finish
• Melted Butter: 1/2 cup to mix with the syrup

LET'S MAKE IT

Step 1:

Get your oven hot at 350°F (175°C).

Step 2:

Form the sausage into 12 small rounds a bit wider than your buns. Cook them in a pan on medium until they're done inside.

Step 3:

Cut your Hawaiian rolls across but don't pull them apart. Put the bottoms in a baking dish (7×10 or 9×13 works great).

Step 4:

Layer your scrambled eggs on the roll bottoms, then add the pepper jack slices on top.

Step 5:

Add the cooked sausage rounds on the pepper jack, then lay American cheese over them.

Step 6:

Put the top part of the rolls back on to close your sliders.

Step 7:

Mix your melted butter with maple syrup in a small bowl. Brush it all over the tops so it runs down the sides too.

Step 8:

Bake them for 15-20 minutes until everything's melty and bubbling.

Step 9:

Let them cool a bit before you dig in. They're awesome!

Keeping and Serving Ideas

• These taste best when they're still warm.
• Want to warm them back up? Pop them in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes.

Good To Know

• Try throwing in extras like cooked onions or jalapeño slices if you want more punch.
• Switch up your cheese game with some cheddar or Swiss for something different.

Pro Chef Advice

• Chef Mark says a few drops of hot sauce in your eggs kicks things up a notch.
• Chef Linda thinks starting with super fresh, soft rolls makes all the difference.

Making Them Perfect

For knockout breakfast sliders, don't skimp on good sausage and cheese. Cook your eggs just until they come together so they stay nice and fluffy. Don't be stingy with that maple-butter mixture on top for the perfect sweet-savory combo.

Mix It Up

Want something lighter? Try turkey sausage and whole grain rolls instead. Adding some quick-cooked spinach or avocado slices bumps up the good stuff too.

Common Questions

Can I get these ready the night before?

Sure thing! Put everything together, stick it in the fridge, then add the glaze and bake in the morning.

Will other cheeses work?

Absolutely! Go with whatever you love—cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss all work great.

They're too sweet for me. Now what?

Just cut back on the syrup or skip the sweetened butter altogether.

Can I save some for later in the freezer?

You bet! After baking, wrap them up tight and freeze. Just warm them in the oven when you're ready to eat.
