Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Slider Buns: Soft dinner rolls work best for these sliders. If you can’t find slider buns, use any soft bread, like Hawaiian rolls. They add a nice sweetness!
Bacon: Standard bacon adds great flavor, but feel free to substitute turkey bacon or a plant-based option if you’re looking for a healthier choice.
Eggs: For fluffy scrambled eggs, use large eggs. If you’re vegan, you can make a chickpea scramble using mashed chickpeas mixed with turmeric and seasonings.
Cheese: Cheddar is a classic choice, but you could use Monterey Jack or Gouda for a different twist! If vegan, try dairy-free cheese alternatives.
Chives/Parsley: These add freshness as a garnish. You can skip them if you don’t have any, or use diced green onions as a replacement!
How Do I Make Fluffy Scrambled Eggs?
Making fluffy scrambled eggs is key to great sliders. Here’s how to do it right:
- Start with fresh large eggs. Crack them into a bowl & whisk with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it’s melted and bubbling.
- Pour in the eggs and gently stir with a spatula, pushing them from the edge to the center.
- Cook until just set and slightly moist. Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
Remember, the eggs will continue to cook a bit after being removed from the heat, so don’t wait too long!
Bacon Egg And Cheese Breakfast Sliders
Ingredients You’ll Need:
For The Sliders:
- 12 slider buns (soft dinner rolls)
- 12 slices of bacon
- 6 large eggs
- 6 slices of cheddar cheese (or American cheese)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or parsley (optional garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe will take about 15 minutes to prepare and another 5 minutes to bake, giving you a total of around 20 minutes from start to finish. Perfect for a quick breakfast or brunch!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your sliders melt perfectly once they’re assembled.
2. Cook the Bacon:
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until it’s crispy. Once cooked, drain the bacon on paper towels to absorb any excess grease. This keeps your sliders from getting soggy!
3. Scramble the Eggs:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, adding salt and pepper to taste. In a separate non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and scramble gently until the eggs are just set but still a little moist. Remove from heat so they don’t overcook.
4. Prepare the Slider Buns:
Carefully slice each slider bun in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms intact. This will make layering the ingredients easier.
5. Assemble the Sliders:
On the bottom half of each bun, layer bacon slices, followed by the scrambled eggs, and top it off with a slice of cheese. Repeat this step until all the sliders are assembled.
6. Bake the Sliders:
Place the assembled sliders on a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Finish and Serve:
Remove the sliders from the oven and place the top half of each bun on. If you’d like, brush the tops lightly with melted butter and sprinkle with chopped chives or parsley for a touch of color.
8. Enjoy!
Serve your warm Bacon Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sliders, and enjoy a delicious and satisfying breakfast treat!

Can I Use Frozen Bacon for This Recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen bacon! Just make sure to thaw it completely before cooking. The best way to thaw is overnight in the fridge, or you can quickly defrost it in the microwave using the defrost setting. Cook it until crispy before proceeding with the recipe.
Can I Make These Sliders Ahead of Time?
Absolutely! You can assemble the sliders and store them in the fridge for up to a day before baking. Just cover them tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. When ready to serve, pop them in the oven to melt the cheese and warm everything through.
What Else Can I Add to These Sliders?
You can get creative! Try adding sautéed onions or bell peppers for extra flavor. Avocado slices or hot sauce can also amp up the flavor. Feel free to customize with your favorite breakfast ingredients!
How Should I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place the sliders in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or warm them in the oven until heated through.
