Notes
Secret Tips for Crack Breakfast Sliders
- Use Soft-Scrambled Eggs for Maximum Creaminess: Instead of cooking eggs all the way through, remove them from heat while still slightly glossy. They’ll finish setting in the oven and stay ultra tender.
- Line the Baking Dish with Parchment Paper: This prevents sticking, makes cleanup easier, and lets you lift the whole slider slab out for cleaner slicing.
- Brush Glaze Between the Buns: Don’t stop at the top! Use a pastry brush to sneak glaze between each roll—every bite should have that buttery-sweet goodness.
- Add a Cheese Layer on Bottom & Top: To get those epic melty pulls, layer some cheese directly on the bottom half before adding eggs and bacon, then top with more before adding the bun lids.
- Griddle the Bottom Buns First: Toast the cut side of the bottom buns in a skillet with a little butter before assembling. This adds texture and prevents sogginess from the eggs.
- Cover While Baking, Then Uncover to Brown: Keep sliders covered with foil during the first half of baking to steam and melt everything together. Uncover for the last 5 minutes for golden tops.
- Use Thick-Cut Bacon or Maple Bacon: Thicker bacon holds its crisp better after baking, and maple or peppered bacon adds a bold, savory-sweet edge.
- Freeze Before Baking for Meal Prep: Assemble the sliders fully, wrap tightly, and freeze. Bake from frozen at 325°F, covered for 25 minutes, then uncovered until browned.
- Add Pickles or Hot Honey for a Twist: A thin layer of pickles under the bacon or a drizzle of hot honey before serving adds a flavor punch that balances the richness.
- Cut with a Serrated Knife While Warm: Let the sliders rest 5 minutes after baking, then use a serrated knife to slice clean portions without squishing.
