Ingredients
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 slices of bacon, cooked crispy
- 8 slices of cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. - Prepare the eggs
Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Cook the mixture over medium heat in a non-stick pan, stirring occasionally until the eggs are soft and scrambled. - Assemble the sliders
Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the rolls connected. Place the bottom half of the rolls in the prepared baking dish.
Layer the scrambled eggs evenly across the bottom rolls, followed by the bacon slices. Add the cheese slices on top and place the top half of the rolls over the cheese. - Make the glaze
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and poppy seeds (if using). - Brush the glaze
Generously brush the butter mixture over the tops of the rolls, ensuring even coverage for maximum flavor. - Bake the sliders
Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown. - Serve
Remove from the oven, allow the sliders to cool slightly, and slice into individual servings.
Serving and Storage Tips
- Serving: These sliders are best enjoyed warm, straight out of the oven. Serve with a side of fresh fruit or hash browns for a complete breakfast.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 10 minutes or in the microwave for 30 seconds.
FAQs
1. Can I use sausage instead of bacon?
Yes, cooked sausage patties or crumbled sausage can be used as a substitute for bacon in this recipe.
2. Can I make these sliders ahead of time?
Absolutely! Assemble the sliders without the glaze, cover them tightly, and refrigerate overnight. Add the glaze just before baking.
3. Can I use a different type of roll?
While Hawaiian rolls provide a sweet and soft texture, you can use dinner rolls or slider buns as an alternative.
4. Are these sliders freezer-friendly?
Yes, you can freeze the assembled sliders before baking. Wrap them tightly in aluminum foil and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking as directed.

PrintCRACK BREAKFAST SLIDERS (BACON EGG & CHEESE)
Crack Breakfast Sliders are a delightful combination of sweet Hawaiian rolls filled with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and melted cheddar cheese, all topped with a savory ranch-infused butter. This dish is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or any meal of the day.
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter (for scrambling eggs)
- 1 pound bacon
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 teaspoons ranch dressing mix
- 1 (12-ounce) package Hawaiian rolls
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Prepare Eggs:Â In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Scramble Eggs:Â In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Cook Bacon:Â In the same skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, cut each bacon slice into smaller pieces to fit the sliders.
- Assemble Sliders:Â Without separating the individual rolls, slice the entire package of Hawaiian rolls horizontally. Place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish.
- Layering:
- Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the bottom half of the rolls.
- Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs over the cheese.
- Add the bacon pieces on top of the eggs.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese over the bacon.
- Layering:
- Top with Roll Tops:Â Place the top half of the rolls over the assembled layers.
- Prepare Ranch Butter:Â In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and ranch dressing mix. Stir until the ranch mix is fully dissolved.
- Apply Butter Mixture:Â Brush the ranch butter generously over the tops of the rolls.
- Bake:Â Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops of the rolls are golden brown.
- Serve:Â Remove from the oven and let the sliders cool for a few minutes. Using a serrated knife, cut into individual sliders and serve warm.
Notes
- Make-Ahead Option:Â You can assemble the sliders the night before without adding the ranch butter. Cover and refrigerate. When ready to bake, brush with the ranch butter and bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes if baking directly from the refrigerator.
- Variations:Â Feel free to substitute the bacon with sausage or ham, and experiment with different cheeses like Swiss or pepper jack for a unique flavor.
- Serving Suggestions:Â These sliders pair well with fresh fruit, a side salad, or hash browns for a complete meal.
