Whether you’re hosting a weekend brunch or prepping for the week ahead, these soft, cheesy sandwiches are guaranteed to disappear fast. With fluffy scrambled eggs, melty cheese, and buttery slider buns baked until golden and warm, they strike the perfect balance between comfort and convenience.
These sliders are incredibly versatile. Start with simple eggs and cheese for a vegetarian-friendly option, or go all-in with crispy bacon or savory sausage layered in for extra heartiness.

One of the best parts of this recipe is how easy it is to prepare. You can assemble everything in advance and pop it into the oven just before guests arrive, making it ideal for busy mornings or entertaining a crowd. It also reheats well, making it a smart choice for meal prep — just store leftovers in the fridge and warm them up throughout the week.
From a casual breakfast gathering to a grab-and-go weekday solution, these breakfast sliders deliver comfort and flavor in every bite. Serve them with fruit, hash browns, or your favorite morning beverage for a complete breakfast everyone will love.
Servings: 12 sliders
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 12 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls, sliced in half
- 8 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar or American cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: cooked bacon or sausage for added protein
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Scramble the eggs in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until just set and fluffy. Remove from heat.
- Arrange the bottom halves of the slider buns in the prepared baking dish, covering the entire surface.
- Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs over the buns. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the eggs. If you’re using bacon or sausage, layer it over the cheese.
- Place the top halves of the buns over the filling. Brush the tops generously with melted butter.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 5–10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Let the sliders rest for a minute, then slice and serve warm. They pull apart easily and are perfect for sharing.
Variations:
- Veggie Boost: Add sautéed spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms to the eggs for added nutrition and flavor.
- Spicy Kick: Use pepper jack cheese or add a dash of hot sauce or sliced jalapeños to the egg mixture.
- Everything Bagel Style: Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning on top of the buns after brushing with butter for an extra layer of flavor.
- Make-Ahead: Assemble the sliders the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake in the morning as directed.
Tips:
- Don’t overcook the scrambled eggs in the skillet—they’ll finish cooking in the oven.
- For cleaner slices, let the sliders cool for a minute or two before cutting.
- If using meat, make sure it’s fully cooked before adding to the sliders.
- To reheat, wrap individual sliders in foil and warm in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 10 minutes.
- These sliders are freezer-friendly. Assemble, freeze before baking, and bake from frozen with an additional 10–15 minutes added to the cooking time.
