Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich Layers
- 1 12-count package Hawaiian Rolls
- 6 tablespoons cream cheese (plain or onion & chive)
- 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 tablespoon 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.
- Slice Rolls: Using a serrated knife, carefully slice horizontally through all 12 Hawaiian rolls together without separating them, creating a large top half and a large bottom half.
- Prepare Pan: Grease an 8x11 inch baking pan; if unavailable, use a greased 9x13 inch pan. Place the bottom half of the rolls evenly in the pan.
- Spread Cream Cheese: Evenly spread the cream cheese over the bottom buns to create a creamy base layer.
- Cook Sausage and Peppers: In a saucepan over medium heat, brown the ground breakfast sausage along with the diced red bell peppers until fully cooked. Drain excess fat and set mixture aside.
- Prepare Scrambled Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until smooth. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the egg mixture. Stir occasionally until eggs are fully cooked and scrambled.
- Assemble Sliders: Sprinkle the cooked sausage and pepper mixture over the cream cheese layer on the bottom buns, then layer the scrambled eggs on top. Next, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs.
- Add Top Buns: Place the top half of the Hawaiian rolls over the assembled layers, pressing gently to fit.
- Prepare Butter Glaze: Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl, then stir in onion powder, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, and dried parsley flakes.
- Brush Butter Glaze: Generously brush the seasoned melted butter over the tops of the rolls to add flavor and help them brown.
- Bake Covered: Cover the baking pan with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to let the flavors meld and cheese melt.
- Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and bake an additional 5 minutes uncovered until the cheese is melted and the tops of the rolls are golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from oven, slice into individual sliders, and serve warm for a hearty breakfast or brunch treat.
Notes
- For a healthier option, use turkey breakfast sausage or vegetarian sausage substitutes.
- If you prefer, substitute cream cheese with a dairy-free version for a lactose-free option.
- Diced red bell peppers add color and sweetness but can be omitted if preferred.
- If you don't have an 8x11 inch pan, a 9x13 inch pan works fine; just center the rolls in the pan.
- Use a serrated knife to prevent squishing the soft rolls while slicing.
- Brush the butter glaze generously to ensure a flavorful, golden crust on top.
- These sliders can be assembled the night before and baked fresh in the morning for convenience.
