Ingredients You’ll Need
All it takes are a handful of familiar ingredients to create something truly special. Each one plays a key role, from the pillowy rolls to the creamy cheese, ensuring your Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders with Sausage, Egg & Cheese are bursting with flavor, color, and texture.
- Hawaiian sweet rolls: These ultra-soft, slightly sweet rolls are the backbone of your sliders, holding everything together and providing irresistible flavor.
- Large eggs: Nothing beats the fluffy richness of freshly scrambled eggs as the heart of the slider filling.
- Milk: A splash makes your eggs extra creamy and tender.
- Salt: Essential for seasoning the eggs so every bite is flavorful.
- Black pepper: Adds the perfect hint of spice and complexity to the eggs.
- Butter: Richness for scrambling the eggs and brushing on top for bakery-style golden sliders.
- Breakfast sausage patties: Savory, juicy sausage brings classic breakfast comfort and heartiness (swap for bacon or ham if you like).
- Cheddar cheese slices: Bold, melty cheese binds everything together and adds fluttering ribbons of flavor throughout (choose your favorite cheese for a twist).
- Mayonnaise (optional): A thin spread keeps the sliders moist and adds a subtle tang.
- Dijon mustard: Just a touch for depth and a little zing in each bite.
- Melted butter: For brushing on top and guaranteeing a golden, crave-worthy finish to your Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders with Sausage, Egg & Cheese.
- Garlic powder: Infuses each bite with gentle, aromatic savoriness.
- Poppy seeds (optional): Sprinkle on top for a bakery-fresh look and satisfying crunch.
How to Make Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders with Sausage, Egg & Cheese
Step 1: Preheat and Prep Your Ingredients
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. While the oven heats, cook your sausage patties if you haven’t already, crack and whisk the eggs, measure out your ingredients, and have everything ready to go. Trust me, these sliders come together fast once you start!
Step 2: Scramble the Eggs
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and a little frothy. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium and melt the butter, then pour in your egg mixture. Gently scramble, stirring just until the eggs are soft and barely set. Don’t overcook; you want them fluffy and moist, so they stay tender inside the sliders.
Step 3: Slice and Layer the Rolls
Keeping the Hawaiian sweet rolls connected, use a long serrated knife to cut them in half horizontally. Place the entire bottom half into a lightly greased 9×13-inch baking dish. If using, spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard over the bottom layer for a flavor boost—just a thin layer goes a long way. Now, evenly layer the scrambled eggs, nestle in the sausage patties, and drape the cheddar cheese slices on top, ensuring everything covers edge to edge.
Step 4: Finish and Bake
Carefully add the top half of the rolls. In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder and poppy seeds. Use a pastry brush to generously coat the tops of the rolls, letting some of that garlicky butter drip down the sides. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 10 to 15 minutes—this helps everything heat through and the cheese to melt. Uncover and bake for another 5 minutes until the tops are beautifully golden and your kitchen smells like heaven.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Let the Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders with Sausage, Egg & Cheese cool for just a minute or two so they’re easy to handle. Then slice along the original roll lines and serve them up warm and gooey—perfect for a breakfast gathering, family brunch, or even breakfast for dinner!
How to Serve Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders with Sausage, Egg & Cheese
Garnishes
Dress up your sliders with a light dusting of fresh chopped chives, sliced green onions, or even a few dabs of hot sauce for spice lovers. These little touches add color and a burst of freshness that really make your sliders look and taste restaurant-worthy.
Side Dishes
The beauty of Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders with Sausage, Egg & Cheese is that they’re hearty enough to stand alone. But if you want a full spread, serve with crisp hashbrowns, a colorful fruit salad, or even a simple mixed greens salad. Each side brings its own flair and rounds out your brunch menu perfectly.
Creative Ways to Present
For a fun twist, stack the sliders on a wooden board or platter with toothpicks for grab-and-go convenience. You can also wrap each in parchment for a breakfast picnic or tailgate. If you’re hosting a brunch buffet, set them out with a variety of sauces (think sriracha mayo, honey mustard, or classic ketchup) so everyone can customize their mini sandwiches.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Leftover Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders with Sausage, Egg & Cheese are as tasty the next day! Place any extras in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days. Just be sure to let them cool completely before storing to avoid sogginess.
Freezing
If you’re prepping breakfast ahead, these sliders are freezer-friendly. Once cooled, wrap each slider tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll keep well in the freezer for up to two months—perfect for busy mornings!
Reheating
To reheat, unwrap the sliders and warm in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. If coming straight from the freezer, add a few extra minutes and cover with foil to prevent the tops from over-browning. The microwave works in a pinch, but the oven keeps everything crisp and melty.
FAQs
Can I make Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders with Sausage, Egg & Cheese the night before?
Absolutely! You can assemble the sliders (without brushing the tops with butter) and store them covered in the fridge overnight. When you’re ready to bake, add the butter topping and simply increase the baking time by a few minutes if they’re cold from the fridge.
What are the best cheese options for these sliders?
Cheddar is classic for its melt and sharp flavor, but you can substitute with Swiss, pepper jack, provolone, or even American cheese. Mix and match based on your preference or what’s in your fridge!
Can I swap the sausage for something else?
Definitely—Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders with Sausage, Egg & Cheese work well with bacon, ham, or even a plant-based sausage for a vegetarian twist. Just make sure your protein is cooked before building the sliders.
How do I keep the sliders from getting soggy?
Be careful not to overcook the eggs (keep them just-set and fluffy), and avoid over-spreading sauces. Let the sliders cool slightly before covering or refrigerating leftovers to prevent steaming inside the rolls.
Can I double the recipe for a larger group?
Yes! Simply double everything and bake in two separate dishes, or use a larger tray if you have one. These sliders are crowd-sized already, making them a brilliant choice for feeding a group—just another reason to love Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders with Sausage, Egg & Cheese!
