How to Make Breakfast Egg and Sausage Sliders

Step 1: Cook the Sausage

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the sausage patties for about 3-4 minutes per side until browned and fully cooked. Transfer to a plate.

Step 2: Scramble the Eggs

In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in the same skillet over low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and stir gently with a spatula until just set and fluffy. Remove from heat.

Step 3: Slice the Rolls

Using a serrated knife, slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected as one big sheet. Place the bottom half in a baking dish.

Step 4: Assemble the Sliders

Layer the scrambled eggs over the bottom half of the rolls. Place the cooked sausage patties evenly on top, followed by the cheddar cheese slices. Place the top half of the rolls back on.

Step 5: Brush with Butter & Bake

In a small bowl, mix melted butter and garlic powder. Brush it over the tops of the sliders. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
