Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 6 large eggs
- 8 ounces (226 grams) ground pork sausage
- 6 slices thick cut bacon
Cheese and Bread:
- 1 cup (113 grams) sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 package (12 count) King’s Hawaiian Rolls
Seasoning:
- 1 recipe cowboy butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray a 7×11-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Slice the King’s Hawaiian Rolls horizontally, creating top and bottom halves.
- Arrange the bottom roll halves in the prepared baking dish, creating a uniform base.
- Drizzle melted cowboy butter evenly over the roll bottoms, ensuring complete coverage.
- Layer scrambled eggs across the buttered rolls as the first substantial ingredient.
- Distribute cooked sausage and crispy bacon slices over the eggs, creating a protein-rich foundation.
- Sprinkle sharp cheddar cheese generously over the meat layers to add rich, melty flavor.
- Carefully place the top roll halves back onto the assembled ingredients.
- Brush additional cowboy butter over the roll tops to enhance golden browning.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes, allowing ingredients to heat through and cheese to melt.
- Remove foil and continue baking for 3-5 minutes until rolls turn golden brown and edges become crispy.
- Remove from oven, slice into individual sliders, and serve with extra cowboy butter for optional dipping.
Notes
- Customize Meat Options by swapping sausage and bacon with turkey bacon, plant-based sausage, or vegetarian alternatives for dietary preferences.
- Prepare Components Ahead by cooking eggs, meats, and prepping butter mixture the night before to streamline morning assembly and reduce cooking stress.
- Control Cheese Meltiness through careful monitoring, ensuring cheese is evenly distributed and melts without burning by maintaining consistent oven temperature.
- Enhance Gluten-Free Adaptation by using gluten-free dinner rolls or making your own almond flour-based rolls to accommodate wheat sensitivities.
