Ingredients
Scale
Rolls and Spread
- 1 12-count package Hawaiian Rolls
- 6 tablespoons cream cheese (plain or onion & chive)
Filling
- 1/2 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 1/3 cup diced red bell peppers (optional)
- 6 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Butter Glaze
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to prepare for baking the assembled sliders.
- Prepare Rolls: Using a serrated knife, carefully slice through all 12 Hawaiian rolls horizontally without separating the individual buns, creating one large top piece and one large bottom piece.
- Arrange Bottom Buns: Place the bottom half of the buns into a greased 8x11-inch baking pan. If unavailable, use a greased 9x13-inch pan placing the buns in the center. Set the top halves aside.
- Spread Cream Cheese: Evenly spread the cream cheese over the bottom buns to act as a flavorful base layer.
- Cook Sausage and Peppers: In a saucepan, brown the ground breakfast sausage along with the diced red bell peppers (if using). Drain excess fat and set the mixture aside.
- Make Scrambled Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and black pepper until smooth. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the egg mixture. Stir occasionally until eggs are fully cooked and scrambled.
- Assemble Fillings: Sprinkle the cooked sausage mixture evenly over the cream cheese on the bottom buns, followed by the scrambled eggs. Then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Top with Buns: Carefully place the top halves of the buns over the filled bottom halves to form sandwiches.
- Prepare Butter Glaze: Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Stir in onion powder, black pepper, and dried parsley flakes. Brush this butter mixture generously over the top buns, allowing it to soak in.
- Bake Covered: Cover the pan with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and bake an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tops of the buns are golden brown.
- Serve: Slice the baked sliders into individual portions and serve warm.
Notes
- For a spicier twist, add diced jalapeños to the sausage mixture.
- You can substitute cream cheese with flavored spreads like garlic and herb for extra flavor.
- Using a non-stick or well-greased pan helps prevent the sliders from sticking during baking.
- If you prefer, cheddar cheese can be swapped with pepper jack or mozzarella for a different taste.
- Make sure not to separate the buns before baking to help keep the sliders intact for easy slicing and serving.
