Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slider buns (or mini sandwich rolls)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
- 6 slices cheese (cheddar, American, or your choice)
- 2 strips cooked bacon (optional, for added flavor)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs or hot sauce (optional, for garnish)
Ingredient Highlights
- Slider Buns: Soft slider buns provide the perfect base for these mini sandwiches, making them easy to eat and hold.
- Eggs: The scrambled eggs are the star of the show, offering a rich, creamy filling that pairs perfectly with the other ingredients.
- Cheese: Melty cheese adds richness and flavor, creating a gooey texture that’s irresistible.
- Bacon (optional): Crispy bacon gives the sliders a savory crunch, making them even more indulgent.
Instructions
Prepare the Scrambled Eggs:
- Prep the Ingredients: Slice the slider buns in half and set aside. If using bacon, cook the bacon until crispy and crumble it into small pieces.
- Beat the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper until fully combined.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter and olive oil. Once melted, pour in the eggs and stir gently with a spatula to scramble. Cook until the eggs are just set but still creamy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Assemble the Sliders:
- Toast the Buns: Lightly toast the slider buns in the same skillet or in the oven to warm them up and add a bit of crispness.
- Layer the Eggs: Spoon the scrambled eggs onto the bottom half of each toasted slider bun. Top with a slice of cheese, letting it melt into the warm eggs.
- Add Toppings: Add optional toppings such as crumbled bacon, fresh herbs, or a drizzle of hot sauce to enhance the flavor.
- Close the Sliders: Place the top half of the bun on the eggs and press gently to secure the sliders.
