Easy Breakfast Sliders
The Easy Breakfast Sliders, with their perfect blend of cheesy eggs and crispy bacon nestled between soft buns, are nothing short of a morning revelation. They transform breakfast from a simple meal into an event, making any morning feel like a special occasion.
Ingredients
- 12 slider buns soft and ready to soak up the flavors
- 6 large eggs the foundation of any stellar breakfast
- 1/4 cup milk to make the scrambled eggs irresistibly fluffy
- Salt and pepper to taste, ensuring each bite is seasoned to perfection
- 12 slices of bacon crispy and golden
- 12 slices of cheddar cheese rich and melty
- 1/4 cup melted butter for that irresistible sheen and richness
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup adding a hint of sweetness that balances the savory elements
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard for a touch of tangy complexity
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds for texture and visual appeal
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for the magic to unfold.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Scramble the mixture in a skillet over medium heat until just set, then remove from heat. The key is to keep the eggs slightly underdone, as they’ll continue to cook in the oven.
- Cook the bacon to your preferred level of crispiness, then drain on paper towels. The bacon not only adds a crunchy texture but also infuses the sliders with its smoky flavor.
- Slice the slider buns in half and arrange the bottom halves in a baking dish. This will serve as the canvas for your masterpiece.
- Layer the scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and a slice of cheddar cheese on each bun bottom. Then, cap them with the bun tops, creating little domes of deliciousness.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard. Brush this glaze over the tops of the sliders, ensuring each one is coated for maximum flavor. The glaze will caramelize in the oven, adding a depth of flavor that’s both sweet and savory.
- Sprinkle the sliders with poppy seeds, adding a crunch that contrasts beautifully with the soft buns and melty cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted into oozy perfection and the buns are golden. The sliders are ready when they’re irresistible to the eye and the aroma beckons.
Notes
Serve these Easy Breakfast Sliders hot out of the oven, perhaps with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a brunch that’s both balanced and indulgent. They’re best enjoyed in good company, with laughter and stories shared over the meal.
