Ingredients
(Here's a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
- 24 ounces of sausage (meat of choice)
- 12 Hawaiian slider rolls

- Add the sausage patties on top, then place the American cheese over the patties.
- Cover with the top halves of the buns.

Variations
- Cheese Swap: I sometimes switch the cheese to cheddar, mozzarella, or gouda depending on what I have.
- Spicy Twist: Adding a dash of hot sauce or using a spicier sausage gives these sliders a bold flavor kick.
- Veggie Addition: I like throwing in sautéed onions, spinach, or bell peppers to add a little more nutrition and texture.
- Different Breads: When I don’t have Hawaiian rolls, I use brioche or dinner rolls instead.
Storage/Reheating
Once cooled, I keep the sliders in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. For longer storage, I freeze them individually in foil or a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, I wrap them in foil and bake at 350°F for 10–15 minutes or use the air fryer for a quick crisp.
FAQs
Can I prepare these sliders the night before?
Yes, I often assemble everything the night before (without baking), cover the dish, and refrigerate it. In the morning, I simply bake and serve.
How do I keep the bottom of the sliders from getting soggy?
I make sure to drain any excess grease from the sausage and don’t overload with glaze. Baking them uncovered also helps toast the buns.
What kind of sausage should I use?
Any ground sausage works well—just season it to taste. I like using a seasoned blend or something with herbs and spices for more flavor.
Are these good for freezing?
Absolutely. I freeze cooked sliders in airtight containers or wrapped in foil, then reheat as needed. They're just as tasty after being frozen.
Can I make these without maple syrup?
Yes, I sometimes swap the maple syrup for honey or skip the glaze altogether for a more savory flavor.

These Cheesy Sausage and Egg Breakfast Sliders are one of my favorite make-ahead breakfast options. They’re rich, flavorful, and come together quickly. Whether I’m hosting brunch or planning meals for the week, these sliders are always a delicious, satisfying choice that keeps everyone coming back for more.
