Ingredients:

24 oz breakfast sausage, ground
12 slider buns (Hawaiian buns are recommended for their sweetness)
8 large eggs
6 slices pepper jack cheese
8 slices American cheese
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup maple syrup

Preparing the Sausage

Step 1: Cook the Breakfast Sausage

To get started, we need to cook our breakfast sausage. Take the 24 ounces of ground breakfast sausage and place it into a large skillet over medium-high heat. As the sausage begin extracts to cook, use a spatula or a wooden spoon to break it apart into smaller crum extractbles. This will ensure even cooking and a consistent texture throughout your Breakfast Sliders. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and no pink remains. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, drain off any excess grease from the skillet. You want to remove as much fat as possible to prevent the sliders from becoming too greasy. Set the cooked sausage aside on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any remaining oil.

Cooking the Eggs

Step 2: Scramble the Eggs

While the sausage is draining, let’s prepare the eggs. In a medium bowl, crack all 8 large eggs. Whisk them together thoroughly until the yolks and whites are well combined and a uniform pnon-alcoholic ale yellow color. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired, though the sausage and cheese will add plenty of flavor. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add a small amount of butter or cooking spray. Pour in the whisked eggs. Using a spatula, gently push and fold the eggs as they cook, creating soft, fluffy curds. Avoid overcooking them, as we want them to be moist and tender, not dry and rubbery. This process should take about 3-5 minutes. Once scrambled, remove the eggs from the heat and set them aside.

Assembling the Sliders

Step 3: Prepare the Buns and Layer the Fillings

Now comes the fun part: assembling the Breakfast Sliders! Take your 12 slider buns and carefully slice them in half horizontally. You can use a serrated knife for a clean cut. Arrange the bottom halves of the buns on a large baking sheet, cut-side up. Distribute the cooked breakfast sausage evenly over the bottom halves of all 12 buns, making sure each slider gets a good portion. Next, layer the scrambled eggs on top of the sausage. Again, aim for an even distribution so that each slider has a balanced amount of each filling.

Step 4: Add the Cheese and Butter Glaze

It’s time for the cheesy goodness! Place 6 slices of pepper jack cheese over half of the sliders, and 8 slices of American cheese over the remaining sliders. You can overlap the cheese slices slightly to ensure full coverage. The combination of the spicy pepper jack and the creamy American cheese offers a delightful flavor contrast. Now, in a small bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup of melted butter and the 1/4 cup of maple syrup. This sweet and savory glaze is key to making these sliders incredibly delicious and giving them that signature shine. Brush this butter-maple mixture generously over the cut sides of the top halves of the slider buns. Make sure to get good coverage, as this will infuse the buns with fantastic flavor and help them brown beautifully.

Step 5: Bake and Serve

Carefully place the glazed top halves of the buns over the assembled bottom halves, creating your Breakfast Sliders. Ensure all the fillings are tucked in neatly. Place the baking sheet with the assembled sliders into a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly, and the tops of the buns are lightly golden brown and toasted. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning, especially the edges of the buns. Once they are perfectly golden and the cheese is melted, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the sliders rest for just a minute or two before serving. This allows the fillings to settle slightly and makes them easier to handle. Serve these delectable Breakfast Sliders warm for a truly satisfying meal.
