Step-by-Step Instructions

Here’s how to make Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders:

Prepare the Sliders:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease the Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
3. Cut the Rolls: Carefully slice the entire pack of Hawaiian rolls horizontally into two halves, keeping the rolls intact as a whole top and bottom layer. Place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish.

Prepare the Filling:

4. Cook the Sausage or Veggies: If using breakfast sausage, cook it according to package instructions. Alternatively, sauté your favorite veggies (such as spinach, bell peppers, and onions) in a pan with a little olive oil until tender. Set aside.
5. Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Cook the eggs in a non-stick pan over medium heat, stirring frequently until scrambled and fully cooked.

Assemble the Sliders:

6. Layer the Sliders: On the bottom half of the rolls, layer the scrambled eggs, followed by the cooked sausage or veggies, and then sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
7. Add the Top of the Rolls: Place the top half of the rolls over the assembled fillings, pressing gently to secure them.

Prepare the Sauce:

8. Make the Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the Dijon mustard, maple syrup or honey (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the sauce is warmed through.
9. Brush the Sauce: Pour the sauce evenly over the top of the rolls, making sure each slider is well-coated.

Bake the Sliders:

10. Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the sliders are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serve and Garnish:

11. Serve: Allow the sliders to cool for a few minutes before cutting them into individual sliders. Serve warm with a side of fresh fruit, salad, or potatoes for a complete breakfast or brunch.

How to Serve

• With a Side of Fresh Fruit: Pair with fresh berries, orange slices, or a fruit salad for a light, refreshing contrast.
• For a Hearty Meal: Serve with roasted potatoes or a mixed green salad for a more filling brunch.
• On the Go: These sliders are easy to wrap up and take with you for a portable breakfast or lunch.
• As Part of a Brunch Spread: Add these sliders to a brunch table alongside muffins, fruit, and coffee.

Additional Tips

• Make Ahead: Assemble the sliders the night before, cover them tightly, and refrigerate overnight. Bake them the next morning for a hassle-free breakfast.
• Customize with Veggies: Add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or tomatoes for extra flavor and nutrition.
• Use Whole Wheat Rolls: For a healthier option, swap the Hawaiian rolls for whole wheat sliders.
• Substitute Plant-Based Sausage: For a vegetarian version, use plant-based breakfast sausage or a combination of veggies.
