Mini Breakfast Sliders

# 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 (optional)

10 - Fresh chives, finely chopped

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F.

02 - In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage patties until browned and cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove and keep warm.

03 - Wipe out the skillet. Whisk the eggs with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet over medium-low heat, pour in the eggs, and gently scramble until just set. Remove from heat.

04 - Slice the slider buns horizontally. Spread the bottom halves with mayonnaise, if using. Layer each with scrambled eggs, a sausage patty, and half a slice of cheddar cheese. Drizzle with maple syrup.

05 - Top each slider with the bun tops. Arrange sliders on a baking tray. Brush tops with remaining butter. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes until cheese melts and buns are lightly toasted.

06 - Optionally sprinkle fresh chives over the sliders. Serve warm.

They're small enough to eat with one hand but packed with enough flavor that people always ask for seconds.
Everything comes together in under 35 minutes, which means you can serve these even when you're short on time.
The combination of maple syrup drizzled over melted cheddar and sausage hits a sweet-savory note that keeps people coming back.

02 -

Don't skip the butter brush on top—it transforms plain buns into something that tastes intentional and gives them that bakery-fresh quality.
The maple syrup needs to be drizzled before baking, not after, so the heat mellows its sharpness and it melds with the cheese.
