KEY INGREDIENTS IN HAWAIIAN ROLL BREAKFAST SLIDERS WITH SAUSAGE, EGG & CHEESE
Before diving into the fun of assembly, let’s get familiar with the stars of the show. Each ingredient plays a special role in building flavor, texture, and that unbeatable slider experience.
- Hawaiian rolls
Soft, slightly sweet buns that cradle all the fillings. Their pillowy texture provides the perfect contrast to the savory layers inside, ensuring each bite feels like a little cloud of yum.
- Large eggs
The backbone of our sliders, whisked until creamy and then scrambled to fluffy perfection. Eggs bring body and protein, keeping everyone satisfied through mid-morning cravings.
- Milk
Added to the eggs to create super-fluffy curds. A splash of milk lightens the texture and helps the scrambled eggs stay tender rather than rubbery.
- Salt and pepper
Simple seasonings that highlight the natural flavor of the eggs. Adjust to taste and make the scramble truly pop with savory notes.
- Breakfast sausage patties
Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. These add a salty, herby kick that pairs beautifully with the sweet rolls and creamy eggs.
- Cheddar cheese slices
Sharp, melty cheddar introduces a tangy richness that seeps into every crevice of the slider, binding the layers together in gooey harmony.
- Unsalted butter
Melted and brushed on top to ensure golden-brown buns and a hint of buttery indulgence. The lack of added salt lets the everything bagel seasoning shine.
- Everything bagel seasoning
A magical blend of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, onion, and salt. It adds crunch and a burst of savory flavor right on top of the buttery buns.
- Maple syrup (optional)
For dipping or drizzling, this brings a sweet counterpoint to the savory meat and cheese, making each bite even more unforgettable.
HOW TO MAKE HAWAIIAN ROLL BREAKFAST SLIDERS WITH SAUSAGE, EGG & CHEESE
Now that your ingredients are prepped and ready, it’s time to turn kitchen chaos into a seamless assembly line of slider perfection. Follow these steps to create breakfast bliss:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready to give your sliders that golden finish.
2. Cut the entire block of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, taking care to keep the rolls attached. Place the bottom halves on a parchment-lined baking sheet and set the tops aside.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with cooking spray. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring occasionally until the eggs are fully set and fluffy. Remove from heat.
5. In a separate skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage patties until they’re browned and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side.
6. Assemble the sliders by layering the scrambled eggs, sausage patties, and cheddar cheese slices evenly over the bottom half of the rolls.
7. Place the reserved top halves of the rolls onto the assembled layers, creating a complete block of sliders.
8. Brush the melted butter over the tops of the rolls, then sprinkle generously with everything bagel seasoning for that irresistible crunch.
9. Cover the sliders with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
10. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is oozy and the tops are golden brown.
11. Take the sliders out of the oven and let them cool slightly before slicing into individual portions. Serve warm, with maple syrup on the side if you like a sweet twist.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS FOR HAWAIIAN ROLL BREAKFAST SLIDERS WITH SAUSAGE, EGG & CHEESE
Serving these sliders is half the fun—you can turn them into a mini brunch spread or pair them with simple sides for a casual weekend feast. Think of it as curating a delicious moment that complements the sliders’ sweet-savory personality. Whether you’re hosting a family get-together or fueling up a sleepy household, these ideas will take your serving game to the next level.
- Serve on a charcuterie board alongside fresh fruit like berries and melon for a vibrant contrast in flavors and colors. The fresh produce balances the rich sliders, making every bite feel lighter.
- Accompany with a fresh green salad dressed in a lemon vinaigrette for a refreshing counterpoint. Crisp lettuce, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes add brightness to the hearty sliders.
- Offer individual ramekins of homemade salsa or pico de gallo. The zesty, tomato-based dip adds a playful kick that pairs beautifully with the savory sausage and creamy eggs.
- Create a brunch beverage station with mimosas, coffee, and orange juice freely flowing. A chilled bubbly cocktail or a steaming mug of your favorite roast will elevate the entire experience.
HOW TO STORE HAWAIIAN ROLL BREAKFAST SLIDERS WITH SAUSAGE, EGG & CHEESE
You can easily prep these sliders ahead of time or stash leftovers for busy mornings. Proper storage ensures the rolls stay soft, the eggs remain fluffy, and the cheese retains its gooey charm. With a little planning, you can extend that delightful brunch flavor throughout the week.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure the sliders are completely cooled before sealing to avoid condensation and soggy buns.
- Wrap individual sliders in parchment paper and place them in a resealable plastic bag for easy grab-and-go breakfasts. This method keeps each slider intact without sticking together.
- For longer-term storage, freeze the assembled (but unbaked) sliders in a freezer-safe dish. Cover tightly with foil or plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 month. When you’re ready, bake them straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
- To reheat, pop refrigerated sliders into a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes, or microwave individual portions for 30–45 seconds. For frozen sliders, bake covered at 350°F for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake another 5–10 minutes until warmed through.
