Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb breakfast sausage
  • 6 fresh eggs
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese
  • 12 slider buns
  • 2 tbsp butter

Optional Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup chopped onions
  • 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers

Additional Flavorings

  • Barbecue sauce, to taste
  • Fresh herbs or green onions, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart into bite-sized crumbles for even distribution.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: (Optional) Add chopped onions and bell peppers to the skillet and cook until softened and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes, to add texture and natural sweetness.
  3. Scramble the Eggs: Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a separate pan over medium-low heat, scramble the eggs until soft but fully cooked, avoiding overcooking to keep them creamy and tender.
  4. Assemble the Sliders: Slice slider buns in half and lightly butter each side. Toast them in a skillet until golden brown. Layer the bottom buns with the sausage mixture, followed by scrambled eggs, a slice of cheddar cheese, and then the top bun.
  5. Melt and Serve: Place the assembled sliders on a baking sheet and broil for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts to gooey perfection. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh green onions or herbs.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for evenly scrambled, soft, and fluffy eggs.
  • Always toast the buns for a slight crunch that contrasts nicely with the tender fillings.
  • Cook the sausage thoroughly and brown it well to enhance flavor and texture.
  • Layer ingredients evenly to prevent sliders from sliding apart or becoming soggy.
  • Add fresh herbs at the end to keep flavors bright and fragrant.
