Instructions
-
Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Optional: line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment for easy removal. -
Cook Sausage
In a skillet over medium-high heat, crumble and cook sausage until browned. Drain excess grease. -
Cook Fluffy Eggs
In a bowl, whisk eggs with salt & pepper (add 1 tbsp milk or cream for extra creaminess). Cook over low heat, stirring gently until soft and slightly underdone. -
Slice Rolls & Layer
Slice the entire block of rolls horizontally. Place bottom half in the baking dish. Layer cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, and cheese slices evenly. Top with the other half of the rolls. -
Add Maple Glaze
Mix melted butter and maple syrup. Brush generously over the tops of the rolls. -
Bake
Cover with foil and bake 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 5 minutes until tops are golden and cheese is melted. -
Slice & Serve
Slice along the roll perforations to make 24 individual sliders. Serve warm.
Notes
-
Prevent soggy bottoms: Drain sausage well and ensure eggs aren’t watery; optionally toast bottom rolls 5 minutes before assembling.
-
Make ahead: Assemble and refrigerate overnight; bake in the morning, adding 5–10 extra minutes if cold.
-
Freeze: Wrap individual sliders or whole block; freeze up to 2 months. Reheat in oven or microwave.
-
Custom flavors: Add spices, vegetables, or alternate cheeses to suit your taste.
