Cheesy Sausage and Egg Breakfast Sliders

These Cheesy Sausage & Egg Breakfast Sliders are the kind of brunch treat that feels elevated yet uncomplicated. You begin by forming sausage into 12 patties—just slightly larger than your dinner rolls—to fill each slider completely. In a hot skillet, the sausage cooks until browned and fully cooked through, developing savory crusts and juicy interiors. Meanwhile, the Hawaiian dinner rolls are sliced in half horizontally (keeping the roll intact), with the bottom halves nestled into a baking dish ready to hold layers.

Scrambled eggs are layered next over the bottom rolls, followed by pepper jack cheese for spice and melt, then the sausage patties, and a final layer of American cheese for creamy meltiness. The tops of the rolls are set aside during layering. A glaze made from melted butter and maple syrup is brushed over the top buns so that as the sliders bake, the glaze seeps down edges, warming and sweetening the layers beneath.

When baked at 350°F for about 15–20 minutes, the cheese bubbles, the glaze caramelizes slightly, and the rolls steam into the filling beneath. The result: sliders that are gooey, sweet, salty, and filling. Each bite bursts with sausage flavor, egg fluff, melted cheese, and a hint of maple butter sweetness. Because everything is layered and baked together, flavors meld but each component retains identity.

These sliders are excellent for feeding crowds at breakfast gatherings, tailgates, or when you want something more exciting than ordinary eggs. You can prepare them ahead of time: assemble, refrigerate, then bake just before serving. The contrast of savory filling with sweet glaze and soft rolls makes them irresistible.
