Mini Breakfast Sliders (Printable View)

Fluffy eggs, cheddar, sausage, and maple syrup layered in soft buns for a sweet-savory brunch bite.

# What You Need:

→ Slider Assembly

01 - 8 mini slider buns
02 - 8 small breakfast sausage patties (about 1.4 oz each)
03 - 4 large eggs
04 - 4 slices cheddar cheese, halved
05 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
06 - 2 tbsp maple syrup
07 - 1 tbsp mayonnaise (optional)

→ Seasonings

08 - 1/4 tsp salt
09 - 1/8 tsp black pepper

→ Garnish

10 - Fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)

# How To Make It:

01 - Set the oven temperature to 350°F.
02 - In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook sausage patties until browned and fully cooked, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove and keep warm.
03 - Wipe out the skillet. Whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet over medium-low heat, then pour in eggs and gently scramble until just set. Remove from heat.
04 - Slice slider buns horizontally. Spread mayonnaise on bottom halves if using. Layer each with scrambled eggs, a sausage patty, and half a slice of cheddar cheese. Drizzle each with maple syrup.
05 - Place top halves of buns on sliders. Arrange on a baking tray and brush tops with remaining butter. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes until cheese melts and buns are lightly toasted.
06 - Optionally garnish with finely chopped fresh chives and serve warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They're ready in 35 minutes, which means you can actually make them on a regular weekday without stress.
  • Everyone assembles their own balance of toppings, so there's no arguing about who got the extra cheese.
  • Leftover sliders reheat beautifully, making them perfect for meal prep or feeding unexpected guests.
  • The maple syrup trick sounds weird until you taste it, then it becomes non-negotiable.
02 -
  • Scrambled eggs continue cooking even after you pull them off the heat, so remove them when they look just slightly underdone and they'll be perfect by the time you eat them.
  • Don't skip the butter brushing on top of the buns—it's what gives them that bakery-like golden crust that makes people ask for the recipe.
03 -
  • Buy sausage patties that are already formed and seasoned so you can focus on timing instead of working with raw meat.
  • The maple-sausage-cheese combination is magic, but it only works when each element gets equal respect—don't skimp on the syrup or overload the bun.
