Get ready to fall head over heels for these irresistibly delicious Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders! I’m so excited to share this recipe that combines everything we love about breakfast into one perfect, handheld package. If you’re already a fan of my Hawaiian Roll French Toast, you’ll absolutely adore this savory twist on those beloved sweet rolls.

Picture this: fluffy scrambled eggs seasoned just right, crispy bacon that shatters with each bite, golden-brown sausage, and melty cheese, all nestled between pillowy-soft Hawaiian rolls. But here’s what makes these extra special – a brush of butter and everything bagel seasoning on top that creates the most incredible flavor combination you can imagine!

Why You’ll Love These Breakfast Sliders

Let me tell you why these breakfast sliders have become a staple in my kitchen! First, they’re incredibly versatile – perfect for everything from lazy weekend brunches to grab-and-go weekday breakfasts. The combination of textures is absolutely dreamy – you get that slight sweetness from the Hawaiian rolls, which pairs beautifully with the savory filling.

What really sets these sliders apart is my special assembly method. By layering cheese on both the bottom and top buns, you create this amazing seal that keeps all the delicious fillings perfectly in place. Trust me, it’s a game-changer! And don’t even get me started on the sriracha mayo dipping sauce – it adds this incredible creamy kick that takes these sliders to a whole new level of yummy.

The best part? You can prep most components ahead of time, making assembly a breeze when you’re ready to serve. Whether you’re feeding a hungry crowd or meal prepping for the week, these sliders hit all the right notes – they’re filling, portable, and completely customizable to your taste preferences.

One bite of these sliders, with their perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors, and I guarantee they’ll become your new favorite way to start the day!

Ingredients Overview

Let me walk you through the key ingredients that make these breakfast sliders absolutely irresistible! Just like my favorite breakfast rolls recipe, every component plays an important role.

The Building Blocks

• Hawaiian Rolls – These sweet, pillowy rolls are the foundation of our sliders. While King’s Hawaiian brand is my go-to, any soft dinner rolls will work. The subtle sweetness pairs beautifully with our savory fillings.

• Breakfast Sausage – I recommend using high-quality ground pork sausage for the best flavor. The fat content helps keep everything moist and adds incredible depth. For a leaner option, turkey sausage works too!

• American Cheese – We’re using 16 slices, and I swear by Boar’s Head brand. The way it melts creates this amazing protective layer that keeps all our fillings in place. Feel free to swap in sharp cheddar or provolone if you prefer.

• Eggs – These bring everything together! The key is keeping them slightly soft-scrambled – we want them creamy, not dry. I always add a splash of heavy cream while whisking for extra richness.

Success Tips & Tricks

Just like my breakfast pastry bars, these sliders require some strategic assembly for the best results!

My Top Tips for Perfect Sliders

• Pre-cook components separately – This ensures everything is perfectly done. Cook bacon until crisp, brown sausage thoroughly, and keep eggs slightly soft.

• Layer strategically – Start with cheese on the bottom bun, then layer sausage, bacon, eggs, and more cheese. This “cheese envelope” keeps everything in place.

• Don’t skip the butter brush – Brushing the tops with melted butter creates that gorgeous golden finish and adds flavor.

• Rest before cutting – Let the baked sliders rest 5 minutes before cutting. This helps everything set and makes for cleaner slices.

Make-Ahead Magic

You can prep components the night before:
– Cook and crumble bacon
– Brown sausage
– Mix sriracha mayo
– Scramble eggs (slightly undercook since they’ll heat again)

Store everything separately in the fridge, then assemble and bake in the morning!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Let’s break down how to make these incredible breakfast sliders! I promise they’re easier than you think and will become a family favorite.

Prepare the Components

1. Cook your bacon until perfectly crispy (400°F for 20-25 minutes on a lined baking sheet)
2. Brown the sausage in a large skillet, breaking it into small crumbles
3. Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, then scramble until just set – keeping them slightly glossy
4. Mix the sriracha mayo sauce by combining mayonnaise, sriracha, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of salt

Assembly

1. Preheat oven to 350°F
2. Slice your Hawaiian rolls horizontally as one unit, keeping them connected
3. Place bottom half in a 9×13 baking dish
4. Layer in this order:
– 8 slices American cheese
– Cooked sausage crumbles
– Crispy bacon pieces
– Scrambled eggs
– Remaining 8 cheese slices
– Top bun layer

Final Touches & Baking

1. Brush melted butter generously over top buns
2. Sprinkle everything but the bagel seasoning evenly
3. Bake 15-20 minutes until cheese melts and tops are golden
4. Let rest 5 minutes before serving

Recipe Variations

Just like my hearty cowboy casserole, these sliders are perfect for customizing! Here are some of my favorite ways to switch things up:

Protein Swaps

– Replace sausage with ham steaks
– Use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon
– Add crispy hash browns for extra texture
– Mix in sautéed mushrooms and spinach

Cheese Options

– Sharp cheddar for bold flavor
– Pepper jack for some heat
– Swiss cheese pairs beautifully with ham
– Provolone for a mild option

For a lighter option, try pairing these with Mediterranean baked fish. And if you’re serving these for brunch, my strawberry cheesecake dump cake makes the perfect sweet ending!

Seasoning Ideas

– Italian seasoning blend
– Dried ranch seasoning
– Garlic powder and dried herbs
– Cajun seasoning for a spicy kick

Remember to keep your toppings relatively flat so the sliders can hold together nicely when serving!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these breakfast sliders ahead of time?
Yes! Just like my favorite churros recipe, preparation is key. Cook your bacon, sausage, and eggs the night before. Store them separately in the fridge, then assemble and bake in the morning. The sliders will taste just as amazing!

Can I freeze these breakfast sliders?
Absolutely! These little beauties freeze wonderfully. Let them cool completely, wrap individually in plastic wrap, then store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat in a 325°F oven until warmed through.

What’s the best way to keep the bottom buns from getting soggy?
Here’s my favorite trick: create a cheese barrier! Place a layer of cheese directly on the bottom bun before adding other ingredients. The melted cheese creates a protective layer that keeps your buns perfectly soft but never soggy.

Can I use different rolls instead of Hawaiian rolls?
While Hawaiian rolls are my favorite for their subtle sweetness, you can definitely use other dinner rolls. Just make sure they’re sturdy enough to hold all the fillings. Mini brioche rolls or regular dinner rolls work great too!

Final Tips & Notes

Oh friends, these breakfast sliders have become such a staple in my kitchen! They’re perfect for those busy mornings when you need something substantial but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen. I love making a big batch on Sunday and enjoying them throughout the week.

A few extra tips from my kitchen to yours:
– Keep the eggs slightly glossy when scrambling – they’ll continue cooking in the oven
