- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until it's fully browned and cooked through. Drain off any excess grease and set the cooked sausage aside.1 pound breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
- While the sausage is cooking, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until well combined.8 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Melt the butter in the same skillet used for the sausage over medium-low heat. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set and no longer liquid. Be careful not to overcook them, as they will continue to cook slightly when assembled.2 tablespoons butter, 8 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Slice the slider buns in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves of the buns on a baking sheet.12 slider buns (such as Hawaiian sweet rolls or dinner rolls)
- Evenly distribute the cooked sausage over the bottom halves of the buns.1 pound breakfast sausage (mild or spicy), 12 slider buns (such as Hawaiian sweet rolls or dinner rolls)
- Carefully spoon the cooked scrambled eggs over the sausage, making sure to distribute them as evenly as possible.8 large eggs, 1 pound breakfast sausage (mild or spicy), 12 slider buns (such as Hawaiian sweet rolls or dinner rolls)
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese (and cooked bacon, if using) generously over the egg layer.1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack), 1/4 cup finely chopped cooked bacon, 8 large eggs
- Place the top halves of the slider buns over the cheese. Cover the baking sheet loosely with foil.12 slider buns (such as Hawaiian sweet rolls or dinner rolls), 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack)
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the buns are lightly toasted.1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack), 12 slider buns (such as Hawaiian sweet rolls or dinner rolls)
- Carefully remove the sliders from the oven. Let them cool for a minute or two before serving. Garnish with fresh chives or parsley, if desired.1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or parsley, 12 slider buns (such as Hawaiian sweet rolls or dinner rolls)
Notes
Once cooled completely, store any leftover Crack Breakfast Sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep well for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 7-10 minutes, or microwave individual sliders on 50% power for 30-60 seconds.
