How to Make Breakfast Sliders
- Cook the sausage. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage, break it apart, and cook until browned and fully cooked.
2. Prepare the rolls. Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half and place the bottom buns in a baking dish.
3. Add the sausage and cheese. Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the rolls, then sprinkle with cheese slices.
4. Whisk the eggs. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, milk, salt, and pepper.
5. Cook the eggs. Melt the butter with the oil in a pan over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and sprinkle with green onions. Cover and cook until the eggs are just set. Remove from heat.
6. Assemble the sliders. Spoon the eggs evenly over the cheese, then place the top buns over the eggs.
7. Brush and bake. Combine the melted butter and garlic powder, then brush over the tops of the slider buns. Cover with foil and bake at 375°F for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are lightly golden.
Serving Suggestions
- Hash browns: Crispy hash browns or homemade breakfast potatoes make the perfect savory pairing.
- Something sweet: Pair savory sliders with a batch of fluffy pancakes or the best belgian waffles.
Store & Reheat
- Storage. Store leftover breakfast sliders in an airtight container or tightly covered with aluminum foil in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10–15 minutes, or until warmed through. Breakfast sliders can also be air-fried until crispy on the outside and warm in the center.

Instructions
- Cook the sausage. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the sausage. Break up the sausage and cook until golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare the rolls. Slice the rolls in half and place the bottom halves in a baking dish.
- Layer the filling. Evenly spread the cooked sausage over the rolls, then top with the shredded cheese.
- Make the eggs. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, milk, salt, and pepper.

Notes
- Keep the rolls together. Leave the Hawaiian rolls connected when slicing and assembling. This makes it much easier to layer the ingredients and keeps the sliders together while baking.
- Don’t overcook the eggs. Cook the eggs just until they’re set and still soft. They’ll continue cooking slightly in the oven, so this helps keep them tender and fluffy.
- Layer everything evenly. Spread the sausage, cheese, and eggs evenly over the rolls so every slider is packed with delicious filling.
- Storage. Store leftover breakfast sliders in an airtight container or cover them tightly with foil. Refrigerate for up to 3 days.
