Ingredients for Baked Breakfast Egg Sliders
- 12 slider rolls (Hawaiian or potato rolls work great)
- 8 large eggs
- ⅓ cup whole milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 cup cooked ham, diced (or cooked bacon/sausage)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives or parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
How to Make Baked Breakfast Egg Sliders
Step 1: Prepare the Egg Mixture
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Step 2: Cook the Scrambled Eggs
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and pour in the egg mixture. Stir gently with a spatula, cooking until the eggs are just set but still soft and slightly creamy. Remove from heat and stir in the diced ham and half the shredded cheese.
Step 3: Assemble the Sliders
Without separating the rolls, slice the slider buns in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves in a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the rolls, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Place the top halves of the rolls over the egg mixture.
Step 4: Bake the Breakfast Sliders
Brush the tops of the slider buns with melted butter. Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Let the sliders cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley, slice, and serve warm!
Notes for Perfect Baked Breakfast Egg Sliders
- Under-cook the scrambled eggs slightly, as they’ll finish cooking in the oven.
- A serrated knife makes slicing the slider buns easier and cleaner.
- If using bacon or sausage, make sure it’s fully cooked and crumbled before adding to the eggs.
Variations on Breakfast Egg Sliders
- Vegetarian: Swap ham for sautéed spinach, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
- Spicy: Add diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne to the eggs, and use pepper jack cheese.
- Tex-Mex: Mix in black beans, salsa, and Monterey Jack cheese for a southwest flair.
