Slider buns
Breakfast sausage (chicken, turkey, or plant-based alternative)
Eggs
Shredded cheddar cheese
Butter
Milk or cream
Salt and pepper
Honey mustard or your favorite sauce for a touch of sweetness and tang
Optional: fresh herbs like chives or parsley for garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook the breakfast sausage patties in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Scramble the eggs in a buttered skillet until just set.
Slice the slider buns in half horizontally.
Layer the bottom halves with sausage patties, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheddar cheese. Drizzle with honey mustard or your preferred sauce.
Place the top halves of the buns over the fillings.
Arrange the assembled sliders in a baking dish and cover loosely with foil.
Bake for about 10-15 minutes, until the cheese melts and the sliders are warmed through.
Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 12 sliders and takes approximately 25-30 minutes from start to finish. It’s perfect for feeding a small crowd or for meal prepping breakfasts for a few days.

Variations

Swap the sausage for chicken or turkey sausage, or try a vegetarian sausage alternative.
Add sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrition.
Use different cheeses like pepper jack, mozzarella, or Swiss to change up the flavor.
Spread cream cheese or avocado on the buns for a creamy twist.
For a spicy kick, add a few dashes of hot sauce or sprinkle with red pepper flakes.

Storage/Reheating

I store any leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, I wrap them in foil and warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or microwave individually for about 30-45 seconds until heated through. This helps keep the buns soft and the cheese melty.

FAQs

Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

Yes, I often prepare the sliders assembly in advance and refrigerate them covered. Just bake them fresh before serving for the best taste.

Can I freeze the Crack Breakfast Sliders?

Absolutely. I wrap each slider individually in plastic wrap and then store them in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.

What can I use instead of slider buns?

If slider buns aren’t available, small dinner rolls or even English muffins work well as substitutes.

Is there a vegetarian option for this recipe?

Yes, I substitute the sausage with a plant-based vegetarian sausage or seasoned sautéed mushrooms for a delicious meat-free version.

Can I add vegetables to the sliders?

Definitely! I like adding sautéed spinach, bell peppers, or onions for extra flavor and nutrients.
