How to Make Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders with Sausage, Egg & Cheese Recipe
Step 1: Prepare the Scrambled Eggs
Start by whisking together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Then melt a tablespoon of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently stir as it cooks, ensuring the eggs stay soft, creamy, and just set. This technique ensures the eggs remain tender, creating a deliciously comforting layer in your sliders.
Step 2: Prep the Hawaiian Rolls
Slice the entire package of Hawaiian sweet rolls in half horizontally, but be careful to keep the rolls connected as one piece. This creates a top and bottom slab that lets you build and bake the sliders together, making assembly and serving a breeze.
Step 3: Assemble the Sliders
Place the bottom half of the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread the fluffy scrambled eggs evenly over the roll base. Next, layer on the cooked sausage patties—cutting them to fit if necessary—and then cover with cheddar cheese slices, allowing that cheese to melt to perfection later in the oven.
Step 4: Add the Top Layer and Season
Place the top half of the Hawaiian rolls over the layered ingredients. Mix the melted butter with garlic powder and dried parsley, then brush this fragrant butter mixture generously over the top of the rolls. This finishing touch brings a beautiful golden color and extra flavor during baking.
Step 5: Bake the Sliders
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake the sliders at 350°F for 15 minutes to warm through and allow the cheese to melt. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the tops are golden brown and irresistibly crisp. Once baked, slice into individual sliders and serve warm.
How to Serve Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders with Sausage, Egg & Cheese Recipe
Garnishes
While these sliders are delicious on their own, adding a sprinkle of fresh chopped chives or a dash of hot sauce on top can elevate each bite. A light drizzle of maple syrup on the side also complements the sweet rolls and savory sausage beautifully.
Side Dishes
Pair your Hawaiian roll breakfast sliders with fresh fruit salad, crispy hash browns, or a bright green salad for a well-rounded breakfast or brunch spread. These sides add color, texture, and balance out the richness of the sliders.
Creative Ways to Present
For brunch parties, arrange these sliders on a large wooden platter garnished with fresh herbs or edible flowers to impress your guests. You can also serve them with dipping sauces like spicy ketchup, honey mustard, or a creamy avocado spread for added flair.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
After enjoying your sliders, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to 3 days, making it easy to grab a quick breakfast or snack during busy mornings.
Freezing
You can freeze the sliders before baking by wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Store in the freezer for up to 1 month. When ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the fridge before baking as directed.
Reheating
To reheat, cover the sliders with foil and warm them in a 350°F oven for about 10 to 15 minutes until heated through and cheese is melty again. Avoid microwaving, which can make the rolls soggy.
FAQs
Can I use regular dinner rolls instead of Hawaiian rolls?
While you technically can, Hawaiian rolls provide that signature sweetness and soft texture that make these sliders extra special. Regular rolls might lack that delicious contrast but still work in a pinch.
Can I substitute the sausage for bacon or ham?
Absolutely! Cooked bacon or ham makes a flavorful alternative, and you can even mix in sautéed peppers or onions for extra depth.
Is it possible to make these sliders vegetarian?
Definitely! Swap out the sausage for veggie sausage patties or cooked mushrooms, and you’ll still have a tasty breakfast treat.
Can I prepare the sliders the night before?
Yes! Assemble them fully, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Then bake fresh in the morning for a convenient and delicious breakfast.
What is the best way to keep the sliders from getting soggy?
The key is to cook the eggs only until softly set and to avoid overloading the rolls with too much moisture. Brushing the tops with garlic butter and baking uncovered at the end helps maintain a nice texture.
