Can I make breakfast sliders ahead of time?

Yes, these sliders are perfect for meal prep. You can assemble them the night before and refrigerate. Just bake them in the morning for a fresh, warm breakfast.

Can I freeze breakfast sliders?

Absolutely. Assemble the sliders (without the glaze), flash-freeze on a baking sheet for 1–2 hours, then wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month.

What other meats can I use instead of sausage?

Bacon, deli ham, or turkey sausage are great alternatives. You can also use vegetarian sausage or omit the meat entirely for a meatless version.

What kind of cheese works best for this recipe?

Colby Jack is ideal for its meltability and mild flavor, but cheddar, American, mozzarella, or pepper jack all work well depending on your flavor preferences.

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
Cook the sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess grease to avoid soggy sliders.
Scramble the eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk until well combined. Pour into the skillet over low heat and cook covered until the eggs set into a soft sheet. Avoid high heat to prevent overcooking.
Slice the rolls: Without separating the rolls, slice them in half horizontally using a serrated knife. Place the bottom half in the baking dish.
Assemble the sliders: Layer the eggs evenly over the bottom half of the rolls, then top with cooked sausage and cheese slices. Place the top half of the rolls back on.
Make the glaze: In a small bowl, mix melted butter and maple syrup until combined. Brush generously over the tops of the rolls for a golden, flavorful finish.
Bake the sliders: Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
Cool and serve: Let the sliders cool for a few minutes before cutting between each one with a serrated knife. Serve warm.

Notes

You can use pre-cooked sausage patties to save time. Try adding sautéed onions, spinach, or jalapeños for extra flavor. For a vegetarian version, replace meat with grilled veggies or plant-based sausage. The maple glaze can be swapped with garlic butter for a savory twist. Leftovers store well and are perfect for grab-and-go breakfasts.
