Directions and Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish to prepare for your sliders.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
- Gently fold in the crumbled breakfast sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions to create a hearty filling.
- Carefully slice the slider buns horizontally and lay the bottom halves in the greased baking dish.
- Evenly pour the egg mixture over the bottom halves of the buns, allowing them to soak up all that delicious flavor.
- Place the top halves of the slider buns over the filling, gently pressing them down to create a cohesive layer.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with Dijon mustard, then brush the mixture generously over the top of the slider buns for added flavor.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and irresistible.
- Once baked, allow the sliders to cool slightly before slicing them into individual portions to serve. Enjoy the delightful warm aroma!
Notes or Tips
Feel free to customize these sliders to your taste! You can swap out the breakfast sausage for bacon, ham, or even a vegetarian option. Adding some diced bell peppers or spinach can also amp up the nutrition and flavor. These sliders are best enjoyed fresh from the oven, but if you have leftovers, they can be easily reheated in the microwave or oven.
Cooking Techniques
Whisking the eggs and milk together until smooth is crucial for achieving a fluffy texture in your breakfast slider filling. Taking the time to allow the buns to soak up the egg mixture ensures that every bite is bursting with flavor. Baking with foil initially helps prevent the tops from browning too quickly, allowing the inside to cook evenly.
FAQ

You can absolutely prepare the filling and assemble the sliders the night before. Just cover them tightly and store in the refrigerator. In the morning, simply bake them as directed.
Are these sliders gluten-free?
To make these sliders gluten-free, simply substitute the slider buns with gluten-free alternatives.
