Ingredients

12 Hawaiian sweet rolls

1 pound bacon, cut into halves

12 large eggs

12 slices cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)

1/4 cup milk or cream

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Optional: Everything bagel seasoning, for topping

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the bacon halves in a single layer. Bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy and golden. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.

Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until smooth. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently push the cooked portions toward the center as it cooks, letting uncooked eggs flow underneath. Cook until eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist, then remove from heat.

Step 3: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally and place the bottom half in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Layer the cooked bacon evenly over the rolls, then spread the scrambled eggs on top. Add the cheese slices over the eggs and carefully place the top half of the rolls over the cheese.

Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Brush this mixture evenly over the top of the rolls. If desired, sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning for extra flavor.

Step 5: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese has melted and the sliders are heated through. Remove the foil and bake an additional 5-10 minutes to brown and crisp the tops of the rolls.

Step 6: Allow the sliders to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.

Tips & Variations

To mix up the flavors, try Swiss or pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar.

For a vegetarian option, substitute the bacon with sautéed mushrooms or plant-based bacon.

Adding a layer of sautéed spinach or tomato slices adds freshness and color.

Make ahead by assembling the sliders a few hours before baking; keep covered in the fridge until ready to bake.

FAQs

Can I use other types of rolls for these sliders?

Yes, you can use regular dinner rolls, brioche buns, or even small sandwich rolls if you don’t have Hawaiian sweet rolls. Just keep in mind the flavor and texture might differ slightly.

How can I make these sliders ahead of time?

Prepare the sliders as instructed but hold off on baking. Cover and refrigerate them for a few hours or overnight. When ready, bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes if coming straight from the fridge.
