Cooking Instructions:
Prepare the Sausage Patties
The first step is to get our savory sausage ready. Take the 24 ounces of ground beef sausage out of its casings if it’s in rolls. You’ll want to divide the sausage meat into 12 equal portions. This is important for even cooking and to ensure each slider gets a good amount of sausage. Gently form each portion into a patty that is roughly the size of your slider buns. You don’t want them to be too thick, or they might not cook through evenly. A good tip here is to make them slightly larger than the buns, as sausage often shrinks a little during cooking. Place these patties on a plate or baking sheet.
Next, we’ll cook the sausage patties. You can do this in a skillet over medium heat or on a griddle. Cook the patties for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until they are nicely browned and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C). Once cooked, transfer the sausage patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease. This will prevent the sliders from becoming too greasy.
Scramble the Eggs
While the sausage is cooking or resting, let’s get our eggs ready. In a medium bowl, whisk together the 8 large eggs. You can add a pinch of salt and pepper if you like, though the sausage and cheese will provide plenty of flavor. For the fluffiest eggs, I like to cook them over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Pour the whisked eggs into a non-stick skillet lightly greased with a little butter or cooking spray. Cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until the eggs are just set but still slightly moist. We don’t want dry, rubbery eggs for our sliders. Remove them from the heat immediately to prevent overcooking. You can keep them warm in the skillet with the lid on or transfer them to a separate bowl.
Assemble and Melt the Cheese
Now for the most exciting part: assembling these delicious sliders! Carefully slice the Hawaiian buns in half horizontally. You can use a serrated knife for a clean cut. Arrange the bottom halves of the buns on a large baking sheet. This is where we’ll build our masterpieces. Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs over the bottom halves of the buns. Try to get a nice, even layer so every bite has egg.
Next, it’s time for the cheese! On top of the scrambled eggs, place the 6 slices of pepper jack cheese. The pepper jack will add a subtle spicy kick that complements the sweetness of the bun and syrup. Then, place the 8 slices of American cheese on top of the pepper jack. The American cheese melts beautifully and provides that classic gooeyness we all love in a slider. You’ll have two extra slices of American cheese, which is perfectly fine – it just means a little extra cheesy goodness!
Bake and Glaze
We’re almost there! Place the cooked sausage patties on top of the cheese layers. You should have one patty per slider. Now, for that magic touch. Brush the cut side of the top halves of the Hawaiian buns generously with the 1/2 cup of melted butter. This butter will help the buns toast up and become golden brown and delicious in the oven. Place the buttered top halves of the buns over the sausage patties.
Place the baking sheet with the assembled sliders into a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the buns are lightly golden brown and the cheese is fully melted and gooey. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning. Once they come out of the oven, and while they’re still warm, brush the tops of the buns with the 1/4 cup of maple syrup. This maple syrup glaze adds a wonderful sweetness that contrasts beautifully with the savory sausage and cheese. It’s truly the finishing touch that elevates these sliders to another level.
Let the sliders cool for just a minute or two before serving. They are best enjoyed warm. These sliders are perfect for a crowd, a brunch, or even a fun breakfast-for-dinner situation. Enjoy every delicious, cheesy, and savory bite!
