Description

Hearty cowboy breakfast sliders deliver a southwestern sunrise on a plate, packed with bold flavors and morning energy. Savory sausage, melted cheese, and fluffy eggs nestled between buttery biscuits promise a satisfying start you’ll crave again and again.


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

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray a 7×11-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Slice the King’s Hawaiian Rolls horizontally, creating top and bottom halves.
  3. Arrange the bottom roll halves in the prepared baking dish, creating a uniform base.
  4. Drizzle melted cowboy butter evenly over the roll bottoms, ensuring complete coverage.
  5. Layer scrambled eggs across the buttered rolls as the first substantial ingredient.
  6. Distribute cooked sausage and crispy bacon slices over the eggs, creating a protein-rich foundation.
  7. Sprinkle sharp cheddar cheese generously over the meat layers to add rich, melty flavor.
  8. Carefully place the top roll halves back onto the assembled ingredients.
  9. Brush additional cowboy butter over the roll tops to enhance golden browning.
  10. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes, allowing ingredients to heat through and cheese to melt.
  11. Remove foil and continue baking for 3-5 minutes until rolls turn golden brown and edges become crispy.
  12. 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.
