# Ingredients:
→ For the Sliders
01 -
680g ground pork breakfast sausage (2 rolls, like Jimmy Dean)
02 -
12 Hawaiian sweet rolls (kept connected in the package)
03 -
8 large eggs, scrambled
04 -
6 slices pepper jack cheese
05 -
8 slices American cheese
→ For the Maple Butter Glaze
06 -
115g butter, melted
07 -
60ml maple syrup
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 7x10-inch or 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
02 -
Divide the ground pork sausage into 12 equal portions and form into patties slightly larger than an individual Hawaiian roll. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook patties in batches for about 3-4 minutes per side, until completely cooked through with no pink remaining. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
03 -
Using a serrated knife, slice the entire connected slab of rolls horizontally through the middle, keeping both the top and bottom halves intact. Place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish, cut side up. Set the top half aside.
04 -
Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs over the bottom half of the rolls. Top with pepper jack cheese slices, tearing as needed to fit. Place cooked sausage patties on top of the cheese, arranging so each roll will have one patty. Layer American cheese slices on top of the sausage, ensuring even coverage.
05 -
Carefully place the top half of the rolls over the stacked ingredients to create complete sandwiches. Press down gently to compact the layers slightly.
06 -
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and maple syrup until well combined. Using a pastry brush, generously brush the maple butter mixture over the tops of the rolls, allowing the sauce to drip down the sides and between the rolls.
07 -
Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5-10 minutes, until tops are golden brown, cheese is completely melted, and sliders are heated through.
08 -
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Cut along the pre-marked lines of the rolls to separate into individual sliders. Serve warm.
# Notes:
01 -
For tailgating or potlucks, prepare in a disposable foil pan for easy transport, or wrap individual sliders in foil to keep warm.
02 -
These sliders can be assembled a day ahead, covered, refrigerated overnight, and baked just before serving.
03 -
For a spicier version, add a dash of hot sauce to the eggs or use pepper jack cheese on both layers.
04 -
To save time, you can use pre-cooked sausage patties instead of making them from ground sausage.
