Whenever I've got a bunch of hungry folks or just want something filling and tasty, these breakfast sliders totally hit the spot. Fluffy eggs, melty cheese, crunchy bacon, and spicy sausage all tucked in pillowy Hawaiian rolls—they disappear fast at my place.
Every mouthful has a bunch of flavors and textures layered in. Even picky eaters grab another one. I served these one holiday morning and my family still asks for them all the time.
Tasty Ingredients
- Maple syrup: Adds a bit of sweetness and caramelizes the tops for that golden look
- American cheese: Gets gooey fast—stick with any cheese you love if you prefer something different
- Butter: Can't beat the flavor and it helps the tops shine
- Salt: Keeps the flavors balanced
- Heavy cream or milk: Makes your eggs super soft and creamy
- Eggs: Go for large so you get enough filling
- Hawaiian rolls: Their slight sweetness makes every slider extra tasty
- Breakfast sausage: Pick something with a kick if you want an extra punch
- Bacon, diced: Thick cut works best for crunchy bites
- Everything bagel seasoning: Totally up to you, but it packs a nice crunch—use sesame or poppy seeds if you want
Simple Step-by-Step
- Finish and Bake:
- Lay the tops of the rolls back over everything. Mix melted butter with some maple syrup then brush all over before sprinkling with seasoning (if you want). Slide them into the oven at 350 for about fifteen minutes ’til melty and golden. Loosely cover with foil if the tops darken too quick.
- Build Your Sliders:
- Cut Hawaiian rolls straight across but keep the buns stuck together so nothing slides around. Place the bottoms on a baking tray. First add scrambled eggs, then toss on bacon and sausage, and top with a layer of cheese slices.
- Scramble Your Eggs:
- Break eggs into a medium bowl, whisk up with milk or cream until smooth and bubbly. Heat a clean pan with a dab of butter, pour in the eggs, and gently move everything around with a spatula to get soft curds. Sprinkle with salt once they're almost set and pull them off the heat.
- Cook the Bacon and Sausage:
- Dice up the bacon, fry in a big pan over medium heat until it’s crispy, then drop onto a paper towel to soak up extra grease. Toss the sausage into the same spot, mash it up a bit, and fry until browned and cooked through, then set aside with the bacon.

If you want a sharper taste, go for a nice aged cheddar. We even have contests for cheesiest slider—gets a little silly and always needs plenty of napkins!
Saving Leftovers
Stash extra sliders in a sealed container in your fridge—they’re good for up to four days. Warm them up in the oven on low or wrapped in foil so they stay soft. You can even freeze them. Just wrap each one on its own so you can grab, heat, and go.
Easy Swaps
Pick any melty cheese you’re into—cheddar, provolone, or pepper jack all work fine. You could swap out bacon for ham or turkey sausage for something lighter. No Hawaiian rolls? Slider buns or any soft rolls you like will get it done.

How to Serve
Add some fresh-cut fruit or a quick green salad on the side for balance. They fit in at a brunch buffet or just as well for busy weekday mornings. I also love dunking them in spicy salsa or giving them a splash of hot sauce.
Background and Traditions
These little sandwiches take American breakfast classics and stuff them into Hawaiian rolls for a sweet twist. People often bring them to potlucks and family events. It's just a fun way to share a classic breakfast sandwich and make memories together.
