Crack Breakfast Sliders

Crack breakfast sliders remind me of a busy Sunday morning when I needed to feed a crowd quickly because everyone wanted something savory and filling. I layered fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and melted cheese inside soft slider buns, then topped them with a buttery glaze. The result was a tray of irresistible sliders that disappeared within minutes.

Since that day, these sliders have become my go-to for gatherings because they’re easy to make in batches, incredibly flavorful, and perfect for sharing. Each bite is a combination of creamy eggs, smoky bacon, and soft bread with a hint of sweetness from the glaze.

Ingredients

Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always make substitutions if you prefer!

• Slider buns – The soft base that holds all the fillings together
• Scrambled eggs – Fluffy and creamy, they form the heart of the slider
• Bacon – Adds smoky, crispy goodness
• Cheddar cheese – Melts perfectly over the eggs and bacon
• Butter – Used for the glaze that gives the buns a golden finish
• Honey or maple syrup – Adds a subtle sweetness to the glaze
• Garlic powder – Adds a savory kick to the topping
• Salt and pepper – Essential for seasoning the eggs
• Tools You’ll Need
• Skillet – For cooking the bacon and scrambling the eggs
• Mixing bowl – To whisk the eggs before cooking
• Whisk – For fluffy scrambled eggs
• Baking dish – To assemble and bake the sliders as a batch
• Pastry brush – To apply the buttery glaze evenly
• Oven – To melt the cheese and warm the sliders together

Instructions

Step 1

I start by cooking the bacon in a skillet until crispy, then set it aside on paper towels to drain.

Step 2

In a bowl, I whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, then scramble them gently in the same skillet until soft and fluffy.

Step 3

I slice the slider buns in half and place the bottom halves into a baking dish.

Step 4

I layer scrambled eggs evenly over the buns, followed by crispy bacon and a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 5

I place the top halves of the buns on and prepare the glaze by mixing melted butter, honey, and garlic powder.

Step 6

I brush the tops with the glaze and bake at 350°F for about 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the buns are golden.

Step 7

I remove them from the oven, let them cool slightly, and serve warm.

Tips

I sometimes add sliced avocado or a dollop of spicy mayo inside for extra flavor. For a sausage variation, swap out the bacon with cooked breakfast sausage. You can also use different cheeses like pepper jack for a little heat.

Ways to Serve

These sliders are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a quick dinner. I also love serving them at parties because they’re easy to grab and eat. Pair them with a fruit salad or hash browns for a complete meal.
