Ingredients

  • 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 1 pound bacon, cut into halves
  • 12 large eggs
  • 12 slices cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: Everything bagel seasoning, for topping

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange bacon halves in a single layer on the sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess fat.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently push cooked eggs toward the center while allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath. Cook until mostly set but still slightly moist, then remove from heat.
  3. Step 3: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally and place the bottom half in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Layer bacon evenly over the rolls, followed by spreading the scrambled eggs on top. Place cheese slices over the eggs, then cover with the top half of the rolls.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Brush this mixture evenly over the top of the rolls. If desired, sprinkle everything bagel seasoning on top.
  5. Step 5: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and sliders are warmed through. Remove foil and bake an additional 5-10 minutes until the tops are golden and slightly crispy.
  6. Step 6: Allow sliders to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, try adding sautéed onions or bell peppers to the scrambled eggs.
  • Swap cheddar for pepper jack or Swiss cheese for a different twist.
  • If you prefer turkey bacon or sausage patties, substitute accordingly for a leaner option.
  • Brush the tops with honey butter instead of the savory mixture for a subtly sweet finish.

Storage

Store leftover sliders tightly wrapped or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through to retain crispness. Microwave reheating may make the rolls soggy.

Pour in the egg mixture and gently push cooked portions towards the center to allow uncooked eggs to flow underneath. Cook until mostly set but still slightly moist, then remove from heat.
  3. Assemble the Sliders: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the Hawaiian sweet rolls horizontally, separating the top and bottom halves. Place the bottom half in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Layer the cooked bacon evenly over the rolls, then spread the scrambled eggs over the bacon. Lay cheese slices evenly on top of the eggs. Carefully place the top half of the rolls over the cheese layer.
  4. Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder until combined. Brush this mixture evenly over the top of the rolls. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning if desired.
  5. Bake the Sliders: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese melts and the sliders are heated through. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the tops of the rolls are golden brown and slightly crispy.
