These Bacon and Sausage Breakfast Sliders are the sort of thing that disappears before you’ve even properly sat down.
Warm, cheesy, buttery, packed with bacon and sausage, basically everything good about breakfast shoved into one soft little sandwich.
They’re messy in the best way too. Melted cheese everywhere, buttery tops getting slightly crisp in the oven, and that mix of salty bacon and sausage that somehow makes one slider turn into three without noticing.
Definitely not a neat breakfast, but no one really cares once they start eating. The best part is they don’t take loads of effort.
You can throw them together for a lazy weekend breakfast, brunch with people over, or honestly just when cereal feels depressing and you want something proper.
And once you make them once, you’ll probably start changing things every time after that.
Extra cheese, eggs, hot sauce, whatever sounds good at the moment.
They’re hard to mess up, which is probably why people end up making them on repeat.

Ingredients
For the Sliders
- 12 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 8 slices bacon
- 6 breakfast sausage patties
- 6 slices cheddar cheese, halved
- 1 tablespoon butter
For the Butter Topping
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
1. Cook the Bacon
Place the bacon in a skillet over medium heat.
Cook until crispy and deeply golden, flipping as needed.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and roughly chop into smaller pieces.
2. Cook the Sausage
In the same skillet, cook the breakfast sausage patties over medium heat until browned and fully cooked through.
Break the sausage into smaller chunks while cooking so it layers easily into the sliders.
Transfer to a plate.
3. Make the Scrambled Eggs
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.
Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over low-medium heat.
Pour in the eggs and cook slowly, gently stirring until soft fluffy curds form.
Do not overcook. The eggs should stay creamy and soft since they’ll continue warming in the oven.
4. Assemble the Sliders
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Slice the slider buns in half horizontally without separating the individual rolls.
Place the bottom half into a baking dish or tray.
Layer half the cheese slices over the buns.
Add the sausage evenly across the rolls.
Top with scrambled eggs.
Scatter the crispy bacon pieces over the eggs.
Add remaining cheese on top.
Place the top buns over everything.
5. Brush With Butter
Mix melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley together.
Brush generously over the tops of the buns.
This gives the sliders that glossy golden finish just like the photo.
6. Bake
Cover loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove foil and bake another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tops are lightly golden.
Tips For The Best Breakfast Sliders
- Use soft slider buns or Hawaiian rolls for the fluffiest texture
- Cook the eggs low and slow so they stay soft and creamy
- Crispy bacon adds the best texture contrast
- Layer the cheese both under and over the filling so everything stays together
- Brushing the tops with butter helps the buns brown beautifully
- Let the sliders rest for 2 minutes before slicing so the filling stays in place
