Ingredients

For the Sliders

12 Hawaiian sweet rolls or soft slider rolls
8 slices thick-cut bacon
8 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk or cream
1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

For the Butter Topping

1 tablespoon honey or Dijon mustard (optional)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Optional: sesame seeds or Everything Bagel seasoning for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Bacon

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

Step 2: Scramble the Eggs

In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.

Scramble eggs in the same skillet over medium-low heat until just set but still slightly soft. Remove from heat.

Step 3: Assemble the Sliders

Slice slider rolls in half horizontally, keeping the entire sheet intact.

Place bottom half of rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

Layer with scrambled eggs, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheese.

Place top half of rolls over the filling.

Step 4: Add the Butter Topping

In a small bowl, mix melted butter with honey (or Dijon) and garlic powder.

Brush generously over the tops of the rolls. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or seasoning if desired.

Step 5: Bake

Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and tops are golden.

Let cool slightly, then slice into individual sliders and serve warm.

Serving Suggestions
