Breakfast Sliders
There are so many sausage breakfast ideas to choose from, but these breakfast sliders may be my personal favorite.
Chad calls them a ‘handful of yum’ — can’t beat that endorsem*nt!
All of your favorite breakfast fixins come together with the most amazing and unexpected glaze to create one delicious breakfast sliders recipe.
Have you had a chance to try our cheesy sausage bombs? Our savory monkey bread is another favorite hearty breakfast idea that uses sausage.

And if you’re looking for a dinner recipe that uses sage breakfast sausage, you have got to try this delicious sausage gravy and drop biscuit skillet recipe.
Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
Easily customize these sausage egg and cheese breakfast sliders to suit your tastes!
- Try a different meat. I love the flavor of pork sausage, but bacon or turkey bacon is just as delicious. Or, for a less greasy option, use slices of deli ham.
- Use biscuits or bagels. Baked slider recipes typically call for Hawaiian rolls because the buns are conveniently connected together.
However, you can layer baked biscuits or mini bagels in your baking dish instead!
- Swap out the cheese. Instead of Pepper Jack and American, try cheddar or Swiss. Provolone is tasty too, especially if you use deli ham.
- Make them less sweet. Use the same amount of butter but reduce the amount of maple syrup.
Kitchen Tools You Will Need
- Large Skillet – Be sure to use a skillet that’s at least 12 inches in diameter. You need plenty of room, no matter the sausage breakfast ideas you choose from!
- 9×13 Baking Dish – This baking dish set is my favorite! It comes with a lid for easy storage and is great for casseroles too.
- Bread Knife – The serrated edge of a bread knife glides easily through the slab of rolls without shredding or tearing.
Make Ahead Instructions
Enjoy stress-free morning meals with make-ahead egg and sausage breakfast sliders!
Take some time on the weekend to whip up this breakfast sandwich recipe. Then, enjoy them throughout the week.
For tailgate sandwiches, use a disposable foil pan or wrap each slider individually in foil, so everything stays warm.
You can also make Hawaiian roll breakfast sliders a day ahead and pop them in the oven before the big game.
Breakfast Sliders Recipe FAQ
What can I serve with breakfast sliders?
Hawaiian roll breakfast sliders are easily a complete meal on their own!
Although, if you want to add something else to the meal, fresh fruit is always a good idea.
I often make a big bowl of fruit salad because it goes well with the sliders, plus it stays fresh in the fridge for the entire week.
Can I double this breakfast sliders recipe?
You sure can! Use a 24-count package of rolls and scale up the ingredients. Or, simply make several batches at the same time.
Since the larger count rolls are a bit smaller, crumble the sausage or bake it in a rectangular slab (on a baking sheet) instead of forming tiny individual patties. The cheese holds everything together!
How To Store Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders
Once the sausage egg and cheese sandwiches are cooled, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag.
They will stay good in the fridge for 4 to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
When you want to have one for breakfast, just pop it in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes while you’re getting ready for the day.
Enjoy!

Total Time 35 minutes mins
Course Breakfast
Cuisine American
Method Oven
Servings 12 sliders
Ingredients
- 24 ounces ground pork sausage, 2 breakfast sausage rolls, like Jimmy Dean
- 12 Hawaiian buns, or other slider buns
- 8 large eggs, scrambled
- 6 slices pepper jack cheese
- 8 slices American cheese
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Warm large skillet over medium heat. Form sausage into 12 patties, slightly larger than one dinner roll. Add sausage to skillet and cook until completely cooked through.
Meanwhile, using a serrated knife, cut rolls in half lengthwise (without breaking apart). Place bottom half of rolls in 7×10-inch or 9×13-inch baking dish; set tops aside.
Scoop scrambled eggs onto bottom rolls; top with pepper jack. Place sausage on top of pepper jack and top with American cheese. Carefully top with top buns.
Combine melted butter and maple syrup in small bowl. Brush over tops of rolls allowing sauce to drip down sides and into bottom. Use entire amount.
Bake 15-20 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and melted. Serve and enjoy!
To make for tailgating, use a disposable foil pan, or wrap sliders individually in foil to keep warm.
Sliders can also be prepared a day ahead and popped in the oven before the big game.
