Step-by-step instructions

Follow these easy instructions to prepare your sliders:

1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a skillet, cook the ground pork sausage until it’s browned and fully cooked. Make sure to crumble it well as it cooks.
3. In a separate bowl, scramble the eggs until they are fully set. You want them fluffy and soft!
4. Slice the Hawaiian buns in half and place the bottom halves in a baking dish.
5. Evenly distribute the cooked sausage over the buns, followed by the scrambled eggs.
6. Layer the pepper jack and American cheese on top for that gooey goodness.
7. Cap it off by placing the top halves of the buns.
8. Brush the melted butter over the top of the buns and drizzle with maple syrup for added flavor.
9. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
10. Serve warm and enjoy!

Best ways to enjoy it

These sliders are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, when the cheese is all melted and gooey. For an added touch, serve with extra maple syrup on the side for dipping, or pair them with crispy breakfast potatoes or a fresh fruit salad for a balanced meal. The slider format also makes them great for parties or picnics — easy to grab and go!

How to store & freeze

To keep your leftovers fresh, allow the sliders to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can also freeze them! Wrap individual sliders tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil, ensuring they stay airtight. They will last in the freezer for about 1-2 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave when you’re ready to enjoy them again, making sure they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Helpful cooking tips

1. Prepare Ahead: You can cook the sausage and scramble the eggs the night before to make assembly quicker in the morning.
2. Cheese Choices: Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or gouda to switch up the flavors.
3. Make It Spicy: If you like some heat, consider adding jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture.
4. Serving Size: You can cut the sliders in half for smaller bites, making them perfect for a larger gathering.

Creative twists

• Veggie Version: Swap out the sausage for grilled vegetables or a meat alternative for a vegetarian option!
• Sweet Touch: Add some sautéed spinach and mushrooms for an earthy twist.
• Herb Infusion: Sprinkle fresh herbs like chives or parsley into the scrambled eggs for an extra flavor boost.
• Different Breads: Use English muffins or bagels instead of Hawaiian buns for a different texture and flavor.
