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
8 large eggs, scrambled
6 slices pepper jack cheese
8 slices American cheese
½ cup butter, melted
¼ cup maple syrup

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Warm a large skillet over medium heat. Form the sausage into 12 patties, slightly larger than the rolls, and cook them until browned and fully done.
Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping them attached. Place the bottom halves in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Add the scrambled eggs evenly over the bottom buns. Layer with pepper jack cheese.
Add the sausage patties on top, then place the American cheese over the patties.
Cover with the top halves of the buns.
Mix melted butter and maple syrup in a small bowl, then brush it generously over the tops of the buns.
Bake uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and everything is heated through.
Slice and serve warm.

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.

Conclusion

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.
