Make the ultimate breakfast sandwiches in slider form! These breakfast sliders combine sausage, hash browns, eggs, and cheese all on toasted Hawaiian rolls. Dip in country gravy for the complete breakfast experience! Let’s walk through the simple breakfast recipe.
Ingredients for Breakfast Sliders
- 12-pack of Hawaiian rolls
- 16 oz. ground sausage
- 6 eggs, scrambled
- 6 hash brown patties
- 5 slices of American cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Country gravy (optional, but highly recommended)
These breakfast sliders with Hawaiian rolls call for the main ingredients to be cooked separately before being assembled. Mainly, the sausage, eggs, and hash browns.
Step 1: Cooking the Sausage
The ground sausage can be cooked either as 12 individual patties or in one big rectangle equal to the size of your pack of Hawaiian rolls. If cooking as one big rectangle, an easy way to measure is to first remove the pack of Hawaiian rolls from the paper tray. Next, place your 16 oz. package of ground sausage in the tray then smash down and spread to the edges and corners. It will shrink a little while cooking, but will give you the most accurate coverage.
Cook this on the griddle until cooked through, using a digital thermometer to measure to an internal temp around 165 degrees. Once attained, remove from griddle and place on a plate to use later. Wrap in foil to keep warm. If going with the rectangle method for the sausage, make sure you have a large spatula or two spatulas for flipping and removing. You can also break the rectangle in half for easier flipping.
Step 2: Cooking the Eggs
When it comes to eggs for breakfast sliders, I suggest cooking the scrambled eggs in one large, smooth rectangular shape. Doing this will make for a less messy slider than breaking up the eggs while scrambling.
Beat six eggs in a medium-sized bowl and pour onto the griddle, forming a rectangle the size of your tray of Hawaiian rolls. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Flip with either a large spatula or two smaller spatulas. If it’s easier, you can break the rectangle in half before flipping.
Step 3: Cooking the Hash Browns
Take a bag of frozen hash browns and set your griddle to medium-high heat. Pour hash browns onto griddle and form in the shape of, you guessed it, a rectangle the size of your tray of rolls. Season with salt and pepper, as well as drizzle a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, and cook for 7-8 minutes. Flip, season again, and cook for another 7-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Another option is buying frozen hash brown patties and cooking four of them. This will make for a less messy slider.
Step 4: Putting the Breakfast Sliders Together
To put these breakfast sliders together, cut the pack of Hawaiian rolls in half, forming a top and a bottom bun. Cook both portions face down on the griddle for 30 to 60 seconds to get them nice and toasted. Flip over to toast the outsides to help give that nice, toasted crunch.
Next, layer the sliders in this order on the bottom bun: hash browns, sausage, egg, and cheese. Top with top portion of buns. Cut into 12 individual sliders and serve!
Country Gravy for Dipping
I love to dip these breakfast sliders in gravy! The country gravy completes the breakfast experience for me. Simply buy a country gravy packet at the store and follow directions or make your own!
If making your own, melt two tablespoons of butter (or use two tablespoons of grease leftover from ground sausage) in a pan on medium heat. Add two teaspoons of flour and stir to make a roux. Add a cup of milk, a teaspoon of salt, and a teaspoon of pepper. Turn up to medium-high heat and cook until bubbling. Stir occasionally.
If you have any leftover pieces of ground sausage, add them in. Gravy will thicken and be ready to serve.
Which Type of Sausage Should I Use?
Ground sausage comes in a variety of flavors. I love using maple sausage for breakfast sliders because it gives that touch of sweet, syrup taste. If you can’t find maple sausage, drizzle some syrup on the ground meat while cooking.
How Long are Breakfast Sliders Good For?
Breakfast sliders are best served up fresh, but can stay good when stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
