Mini Breakfast Sliders Delight (Print View)

Sweet-savory bites with eggs, cheese, sausage, and maple syrup nestled in soft slider buns.

# Components:

→ Slider Assembly

01 - 8 mini slider buns
02 - 8 small breakfast sausage patties, approximately 1.4 oz each
03 - 4 large eggs
04 - 4 slices cheddar cheese, halved
05 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
06 - 2 tbsp maple syrup
07 - 1 tbsp mayonnaise (optional)

→ Seasonings

08 - 1/4 tsp salt
09 - 1/8 tsp black pepper

→ Garnish

10 - Fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Set the oven temperature to 350°F.
02 - In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook sausage patties until browned and cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove and keep warm.
03 - Wipe the skillet clean. Whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet over medium-low heat, then pour in eggs. Gently scramble until just set, then remove from heat.
04 - Slice slider buns horizontally. Spread mayonnaise thinly on bottom halves, if using. Layer each with scrambled eggs, a sausage patty, and half a slice of cheddar cheese. Drizzle with maple syrup.
05 - Top sliders with remaining bun halves. Arrange on a baking tray. Brush tops with remaining butter. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes until cheese melts and buns are lightly toasted.
06 - Optionally garnish with finely chopped fresh chives. Serve warm.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They disappear the moment they hit the plate, which means you're actually feeding people instead of watching them pick at breakfast.
  • Everything comes together in under 35 minutes, leaving you time to pour a second coffee or catch up with whoever showed up at your door.
  • The maple syrup and melted cheese combination hits that sweet-savory note that makes people ask for the recipe immediately.
02 -
  • Don't skip the softened butter on top—it's what makes the buns toast properly and get that slight crunch that makes them feel special.
  • If you whisk the eggs too aggressively or cook them too long, they'll turn rubbery instead of creamy, so keep your heat medium-low and stir gently.
03 -
  • Buy your sausage patties ahead and let them come to room temperature before cooking so they brown evenly instead of staying pale in the center.
  • The maple syrup only works if it's warm or at least room temperature, so don't pull it straight from the fridge—it'll just sit on top like syrup on ice cream instead of soaking in.
