Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients:
- 1 package (12-count) King’s Hawaiian Rolls
- 6 large eggs
Meat Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) ground pork sausage, cooked
- 6 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled (about 1 cup)
Cheese and Seasoning:
- 1 cup (113 grams) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 recipe cowboy butter, melted, divided
Instructions
- Prepare the baking vessel by coating a 7×11-inch dish with cooking spray and heating the oven to 350°F.
- Gently separate the rolls horizontally, positioning the bottom halves in the prepared dish and drizzling with melted cowboy butter.
- Create a hearty layer by evenly distributing scrambled eggs across the roll bottoms, followed by a generous spread of sausage, crispy bacon strips, and a blanket of shredded cheese.
- Crown the layered creation with the top halves of the rolls, then generously brush with additional melted cowboy butter.
- Shield the sliders with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt completely. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 3-5 minutes until the roll tops transform into a golden, appetizing hue.
- Once removed from the oven, apply a final brush of cowboy butter or serve the remaining butter alongside the sliders for an optional dipping experience.
Notes
- Customize meat choices by swapping sausage or bacon with turkey bacon, plant-based alternatives, or vegetarian sausage for different dietary needs.
- Prep rolls ahead of time and assemble sliders the night before for quick morning baking, saving precious time during busy breakfasts.
- Use low-fat cheese or dairy-free cheese options to reduce calories and accommodate lactose-intolerant guests without compromising flavor.
- Create mini-versions by using dinner rolls or slider buns for perfect portion control at brunches or game day gatherings.
