I first made them on a lazy Sunday morning when I wanted something hearty yet effortless. The smell of buttery toasted buns filled the kitchen as golden eggs and melted cheese oozed between the layers. My husband, who usually eats on the go, sat down for seconds. Even my picky eater of a toddler couldn’t resist tugging apart a slider with her tiny hands. That’s when I knew—these needed to be a regular thing.

Whether you’re making breakfast for a crowd, prepping ahead for busy mornings, or sneaking in some extra protein with crispy bacon or sausage, these sliders always deliver. They’re soft, cheesy, and satisfyingly rich—yet incredibly simple to make. Plus, with just one pan to bake them in, cleanup is a breeze.

If you’re looking for a breakfast that’s quick, comforting, and guaranteed to disappear the moment it hits the table, these egg and cheese sliders are it.

Short Description

Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sliders are the ultimate easy morning meal! Fluffy scrambled eggs, melty cheese, and buttery slider buns come together in this quick, crowd-pleasing dish. Add bacon or sausage for extra flavor!

Key Ingredients

• 12 slider buns (Hawaiian rolls work best), sliced in half
• 8 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1½ cups shredded cheddar or American cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional: Cooked bacon or sausage for added protein

Tools Needed

• 9×13-inch baking dish
• Mixing bowl
• Whisk
• Nonstick skillet
• Spatula
• Pastry brush

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prep the Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Scramble the Eggs

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and scramble the eggs until just set and fluffy. Remove from heat—they’ll continue cooking in the oven.

Step 3: Assemble the Sliders

Place the bottom halves of the slider buns in the prepared baking dish, covering the surface evenly.

Step 4: Layer the Ingredients

Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the buns. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. If using bacon or sausage, add it now for extra flavor.

Step 5: Add the Top Buns and Butter

Place the top halves of the buns over the filling. Brush the tops generously with melted butter to give them a golden, glossy finish.

Step 6: Bake Until Golden

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 5–10 minutes, until the cheese melts and the buns turn golden brown.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Let the sliders rest for a minute, then slice and serve warm. They pull apart easily and are best enjoyed fresh!

Mistakes to Avoid & Solutions

❌ Overcooking the eggs → Solution: Remove from heat while they’re slightly soft; they’ll finish cooking in the oven.

❌ Using dry buns → Solution: Hawaiian rolls stay soft and buttery, making them the best choice.

❌ Not covering with foil → Solution: Covering the sliders traps moisture and ensures gooey cheese.

❌ Skipping the butter topping → Solution: Brushing with melted butter gives the buns a golden, bakery-style finish.

❌ Crowding the eggs → Solution: Spread eggs evenly to avoid some sliders having too much or too little filling.
