Ingredients:
- 12 slider buns
- 12 slices of bacon
- 12 large eggs
- 12 slices of cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Optional: hot sauce or ketchup for serving
Preparing the Ingredients
1. **Gather all your ingredients**: Before you start cooking, make sure you have everything you need on hand. This will make the process smoother and more enjoyable. 2. **Preheat your oven**: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will be used later for toasting the slider buns. 3. **Prepare the bacon**: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the bacon slices. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. 4. **Prepare the eggs**: Crack the eggs into a large bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, then whisk until well combined. This will ensure that your eggs are fluffy and flavorful.Cooking the Eggs
5. **Cook the eggs**: In the same skillet used for the bacon (you can wipe it out if there’s too much grease), add the butter and let it melt over medium heat. Once melted, pour in the whisked eggs. 6. **Scramble the eggs**: Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs as they cook. Keep the heat at medium-low to avoid overcooking. Cook until the eggs are just set but still slightly creamy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.Assembling the Sliders
7. **Prepare the slider buns**: While the eggs are cooking, slice the slider buns in half horizontally. You can do this all at once by placing them in a baking dish, making it easier to assemble later. 8. **Layer the ingredients**: On the bottom half of each slider bun, place a slice of cheese. Then, add a generous portion of scrambled eggs on top of the cheese. Next, layer on the crispy bacon slices. If you like, you can add a little hot sauce or ketchup at this stage for extra flavor. 9. **Top with the bun**: Place the top half of the slider bun over the bacon. Press down gently to help everything stick together.Baking the Sliders
10. **Bake the sliders**: Place the assembled sliders in the preheated oven. Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the buns are slightly toasted. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t over-brown. 11. **Remove from the oven**: Once the sliders are golden and the cheese is bubbly, take them out of the oven. Let them cool for a minute or two before serving.Serving the Sliders
12. **Slice and serve**: Using a sharp knife, cut the sliders into individual portions. You can serve them warm on a platter, or you can wrap them in foil to keep them warm if you’re serving a crowd. 13. **Add condiments**: If you didn’t add hot sauce or ketchup during assembly, now’s the time to offer them on the side. These sliders are delicious on their own, but a little extra sauce can take them to the next level.Tips for Perfect Breakfast Sliders
14. **Customize your sliders**: Feel free to mix things up! You can add sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or spinach, or swap out the bacon for sausage or ham. The possibilities are endless! 15. **Make ahead**: If you’re planning a brunch or gathering, you can prepare the sliders ahead of time. Assemble them and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to bake. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if they’re cold from the fridge. 16. **Storage**: Leftover sliders can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving. 17. **Pairing suggestions**: These breakfast sliders pair wonderfully with fresh fruit, a side of hash browns, or a light salad. You can also serve them with coffee, tea, or fresh juice for a complete breakfast experience. Now that you have all the steps laid out, I hope you enjoy making these delicious breakfast sliders!
