This post may contain affiliate links. See our affiliate policy here.
These breakfast sliders are the ultimate weekend comfort food. Piled high with your favorite combos of bacon, sausage, eggs, and melty cheese, then tucked into soft buns and brushed with garlic butter, they’re totally customizable and ridiculously delicious.
Perfect for lazy brunches, feeding a crowd, or just treating yourself right. As you should.
If you love sliders, you’ll love my Easy Chicken Parm Sliders Meatball Sliders and my Ham & Cheese Sliders (Hawaiian Sliders) too! For extra brunch chaos (the good kind), add Million Dollar Bacon on the side.

Imagine having a tray full of these delicious breakfast sliders ready in just minutes! You can make them really quickly, or you can prep them the day before ready for the oven.
Crispy bacon, savory sausage, fluffy scrambled eggs, and melt-in-your-mouth cheese come together, gloriously topped with garlic butter and baked to perfection.
Breakfast sandwiches are especially perfect for the holiday season, allowing you to indulge in festivities like unwrapping gifts, drinking mimosas or relaxing, while they bake in the oven. Why not make this a holiday tradition?
For a baked sweet option, include my Blueberry Breakfast Casserole on the menu – it’s an easy make-ahead dish that pairs perfectly with these savory sliders. For a savory baked option, try Biscuit Breakfast Casserole (you won’t be sorry).
Hosting brunch? Pair these sliders with a ham and cheese quiche so you’ve got both handheld and slice-and-serve options.
Why you’ll love this

- Simple ingredients. These sliders contain things you probably already have, or can pick up easily at the grocery store.
FAQs
Absolutely. Cook the filling, make the buttery topping and assemble the sliders the night before. Cover and refrigerate. Pour the topping over the sliders before baking.
Make sure your eggs are cooked well enough that they are not wet. Don’t cover the cooked sliders for too long – steam will make the buns soggy.
You can cover the sliders with aluminum foil while baking, and remove the foil towards the end to allow them to brown slightly.
Add spicy ingredients like jalapeños, hot sauce, or spicy sausage to elevate the heat.
What to serve with sliders
Try a fresh fruit tray, or fruit salad. You could add some Cranberry Muffins or a Raspberry Danish.
Add some hash browns or breakfast potatoes and don’t forget the coffee! Try my Eggnog Latte for a great holiday drink!
Put some Dijon mustard salsa or hot sauce on the side/

Key Recipe Ingredients
Note: This highlights some ingredients. Full list is in the recipe card.
- Bacon. I use regular or thick cut bacon. I love the peppered bacon from the deli at the store too.
- Sausage links. These can be turkey sausage or pork sausage. You could use patties too.
- Eggs. I use large eggs.
- Butter, garlic powder, cracked black pepper and kosher salt. We brush the melted butter mixture on the bottom of the baking pan, and also brush over the top. It gives the sliders an amazing flavor. I also use everything but the bagel seasoning or poppy seeds in my butter for a change, and sometimes I add a little bit maple syrup to the butter.
- Slider buns. You can use slider buns or soft Hawaiian rolls. Small-sized ciabatta or brioche buns are also a great option (they’re soft and sweet).
- Cheddar. Mix it up and use provolone, Swiss, pepper jack or colby jack cheese cheese.
Suggested Equipment
- Large Skillet (for cooking the bacon, eggs and sausage)
- Bowls (a large bowl for whisking the eggs, and a small bowl for making the butter topping)
- Whisk
- Measuring spoons
- 9 x 13 baking dish. Any casserole dish will do. A baking sheet can also be used if you want to double or triple th recipe.
- Pastry brush (For brushing the butter mixture on top of the rolls.)

Preheat the oven to 375°F, and heat a skillet to medium heat. Cut the rolls in half lengthwise (if they are not pre-split). You’ll need a serrated knife to cut cleanly.
Cook the bacon, eggs and sausage
Cook the bacon and sausage links until crispy and drain on paper towels.
Break the eggs into a bowl and whisk lightly.
Scramble the eggs in a skillet over low heat (do not overcook as they’ll go into the oven and cook some more).
Season eggs with some salt and pepper.
Make the butter mixture
Melt the butter and mix the salt, pepper and garlic powder in.
Assemble
Grease a large baking dish (big enough to fit all of your sliders) with some of the butter.
Add the bottom half of the rolls to the dish. Layer eggs, bacon, sausage.
Add cheese slices over the top. Top with the slider bun tops. Brush the tops of the rolls with the butter.
- Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes at 375 degrees F until browned on top.
Devour.
Kylee’s Notes
You can cook the bacon and breakfast sausage the day before, just be sure to cook the egg fresh on the day you’re making them.
I make these in a 9×13-inch baking dish or foil pan. The foil pan is awesome if you are taking these to a pot luck or family gathering, and the bonus is that there is no clean up required!
Storing leftovers
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven or an air fryer until hot. See below for freezer instructions.
Substitutions/Additions
I do use sausage links here, but sausage patties work well too, as well as just bulk sausage.
You can leave out the sausage and bacon and just do ham egg and cheese breakfast sliders. You do you, okay?
Play around with different cheeses. I like white cheddar cheese or American cheese, as well as swiss and provolone. Gouda is excellent too!
You can use any kind of rolls, even hotdog buns if that is what you have. I love slider buns and Hawaiian rolls if I can find them.
Freezing instructions
You can wrap individual sliders in parchment paper, and then tightly with plastic wrap and freeze.
Alternatively, you can use a foil container and freeze the entire batch. Remove and bake in the oven until piping hot!
