Ingredients
Scale
- 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.
