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.
