• 1 package (12-count) King’s Hawaiian Rolls

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 7×11-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set it aside.

4. Step 4: Layer the scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the buttered rolls.
5. Step 5: Place the top halves of the rolls over the layered fillings. Brush the tops with 2 tablespoons of melted cowboy butter.
6. Step 6: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes, until the cheese is hot and bubbly.
7. Step 7: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the tops of the sliders turn golden brown.
8. Step 8: Remove the sliders from the oven, slice, and serve with the remaining melted cowboy butter brushed over them or as a dipping sauce.

Tips & Variations

• Substitute ground pork sausage with spicy chorizo for a bolder flavor.
• Use turkey bacon for a leaner option without sacrificing texture.
• Add sliced jalapeños or hot sauce for extra heat if you like spicy breakfasts.
• Prepare the cowboy butter ahead of time to save prep time on busy mornings.

Storage

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 300°F for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through to keep the rolls slightly crispy. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

FAQs

Can I make cowboy butter from scratch?

Yes, cowboy butter is typically a simple mixture of melted butter combined with garlic, herbs, and sometimes spices. It’s easy to make at home and adds great flavor to the sliders.

Can I prepare these sliders in advance?

Absolutely. You can assemble the sliders the night before, cover them tightly, and refrigerate. When ready, bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes if baking straight from the fridge.

Sliders

• 6 large eggs, scrambled
• 8 ounces ground pork sausage, cooked
• 6 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled (about 1 cup)
• 1 cup (113 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 package (12-count) King’s Hawaiian Rolls

Cowboy Butter

• 1 recipe cowboy butter, melted and divided (approximately 6 tablespoons total)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven and prepare baking dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 7×11-inch baking dish with cooking spray or grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Arrange bottom halves of rolls: Slice the King’s Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves evenly into the prepared baking dish, creating a base layer.
3. Brush with cowboy butter: Pour about 2 tablespoons of melted cowboy butter evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls to add rich buttery flavor.
4. Add breakfast fillings: Layer the scrambled eggs evenly over the rolls, followed by the cooked ground pork sausage, crumbled bacon, and shredded sharp cheddar cheese to build the savory filling.
5. Top with roll halves and brush with butter: Place the top halves of the rolls on top of the cheese layer. Brush them with 2 tablespoons of the leftover melted cowboy butter to help the tops brown during baking.
6. Cover and bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and hot throughout.
7. Remove foil and finish baking: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the tops of the sliders are golden brown and slightly crispy.
8. Slice and serve: Remove the sliders from the oven. Slice them into individual portions. Brush the remaining melted cowboy butter over the hot sliders or serve it on the side for dipping.

Notes

• Cook the ground pork sausage and bacon ahead of time to streamline assembly.
• You can prepare the cowboy butter in advance or substitute with melted butter mixed with garlic and herbs for a similar effect.
• For extra flavor, add sautéed onions or peppers to the filling.
• These sliders are best served warm and fresh but can be reheated in a low oven covered with foil.
• If you prefer a milder cheese, substitute sharp cheddar with Monterey Jack or mozzarella.
