Step-by-Step: How to Make Breakfast Sliders
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grab a 9×13-inch baking dish (or foil pan if you’re on-the-go) and brush the bottom and sides with half of your melted butter. Save the rest for later.
2. Scramble the Eggs
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and salt until slightly frothy. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low, melt the remaining butter, and cook your eggs gently until they’re just set soft, but not dry.
3. Layer It Up
Place the bottom halves of your slider buns or Hawaiian rolls into your baking dish. Sprinkle on half the cheddar cheese. Layer the fluffy scrambled eggs evenly, followed by crumbled bacon and the rest of the cheese. Top with the bun lids.
4. Brush & Bake
Brush the tops with the remaining melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic powder and flaky salt. Bake for 15 minutes, until the cheese is gooey and the rolls are golden brown. Let them rest 5 minutes, then finish with parsley if you’d like!
