Cowboy Breakfast Sliders
Cowboy Breakfast Sliders are hearty, oven-baked breakfast sandwiches layered with fluffy eggs, savory sausage, melted cheese, and buttery slider buns. Perfect for brunch, meal prep, or feeding a crowd.
Ingredients
For the Sliders
- 12 slider buns Hawaiian rolls or dinner rolls
- 1 lb breakfast sausage pork or turkey
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk or heavy cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar or Colby Jack cheese
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Optional Add-Ins
- 1 cup hash browns or tater tots cooked
- 1/4 cup jalapeños sliced
- 2 tbsp green onions chopped
Butter Topping
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease and set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Scramble gently in a skillet until just set. Remove from heat.
- Slice the slider buns horizontally. Place the bottom halves into the prepared baking dish.
- Layer the cooked sausage evenly over the buns, followed by scrambled eggs and shredded cheese. Add any optional toppings if using.
- Place the top halves of the buns over the filling.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder and smoked paprika. Brush generously over the tops of the buns.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10–15 minutes, until cheese is melted and tops are lightly golden.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For best texture, avoid overcooking the eggs before baking.
- You can assemble the sliders up to 24 hours in advance and bake when ready.
- Swap sausage for bacon or ham if preferred.
