Your New Favorite Breakfast: Bacon, Egg & Cheese Sliders!
Hey there, breakfast lovers! Let’s talk about something that I believe will elevate your morning routine: Crack Breakfast Sliders. These aren’t just your average breakfast sandwiches; they’re packed with flavor and super easy to make! I mean, who doesn’t want a delicious little bite of bacon, egg, and cheese to start their day? Trust me, once you try these, you’ll be making them on repeat!
Nutritional Benefits
Let’s cover some of the perks of these yummy sliders. First of all, eggs are a fantastic source of protein, which will help keep you full for hours. They’re loaded with vitamins and minerals too! The bacon? Well, it adds that irresistible savory flavor we all crave. Just a little bit can go a long way, and you can always use turkey bacon or veggies to lighten things up!
Adaptable Variations
These sliders are super versatile—one reason why I love them! Here are a few ideas to get your creativity flowing:
- Vegetarian Option: Swap out bacon for sautéed spinach or mushrooms. You can even add some delicious avocado!
- Cheese Choices: Don’t just stick to cheddar! Try pepper jack for a bit of a kick, or go for classic American cheese for that gooey goodness.
- Spice It Up: Add a little hot sauce or some jalapeños for some heat. Perfect for those who like it a bit spicy!
Easy Bacon, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Sliders Recipe
Ingredients
- 12 slider buns (I love using Hawaiian rolls for the extra sweetness)
- 12 slices of bacon
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar is my go-to!)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Trust me, this step is important for that perfect finish!
- In a pan, cook the bacon until it’s nice and crispy. Remove and let it drain on paper towels.
- In the same pan, scramble the eggs on medium heat. Add a little salt and pepper to taste. You want them just set but still a bit soft.
- Slice your slider buns in half horizontally and place the bottom halves in a baking dish.
- Layer the bacon evenly on the buns, followed by the scrambled eggs, and then sprinkle the cheese on top.
- Place the top halves of the buns over the cheese, and if you want, brush a little melted butter on top for that golden finish.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the sliders are heated through. Yum!
Practical & Valuable Tips
- Use a lovely glass dish for baking to monitor browning easily—plus, it looks nice for serving!
- If you’re making these in advance, feel free to assemble them but don’t bake until you’re ready to eat. It’ll keep the sliders fresh!
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat in the microwave for a quick breakfast fix!
Equipment Needed
Here’s what you’ll want on hand before starting:
- A baking dish (think 9×13 for these sliders!)
- A large skillet for cooking the bacon and eggs
- A mixing bowl for scrambling the eggs
- A spatula for flipping the eggs and layering toppings
- A brush for buttering the top of the buns (optional, but I highly recommend it!)
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use a different type of bread? Absolutely! Any slider bun will work, but feel free to experiment with whole wheat or gluten-free options if needed.
- How can I make these spicier? Mix in some hot sauce with the eggs or add sliced jalapeños before baking.
- Can I freeze these sliders? Yes! Assemble them, freeze them before baking, and just pop them in the oven when you’re ready. They’ll be just as delicious!
- How do I reheat leftovers? You can microwave individual sliders for a quick bite, or pop them back in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
- Can I make these ahead of time? Yes! You can prepare the ingredients the night before, and simply assemble and bake in the morning.
