Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sliders – The Ultimate Make-Ahead Morning Favorite

There’s something irresistibly comforting about warm breakfast sliders fresh from the oven. Sausage egg and cheese breakfast sliders bring together everything we crave in the morning—savory sausage, fluffy eggs, melty cheese, and soft, buttery rolls—all baked together into one cozy, pull-apart dish. They’re the kind of breakfast that feels indulgent yet practical, perfect for feeding a crowd or making mornings easier throughout the week.

What makes these sliders so special is how effortlessly they come together. Instead of assembling individual breakfast sandwiches, everything is layered into a single baking dish and baked until warm and melty. The rolls soak up just enough buttery flavor while staying soft, and the eggs bake into tender layers that hold everything together. Each slider pulls apart cleanly, making them ideal for brunch spreads, holiday mornings, or busy school days.

Sausage egg and cheese breakfast sliders are also incredibly versatile. You can prep them ahead of time, bake them fresh in the morning, or even reheat leftovers with excellent results. They’re hearty, satisfying, and guaranteed to disappear quickly once served.

  • 12 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls
  • 12 breakfast sausage patties

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  5. Slice the slider buns in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms intact.
  6. Place the bottom halves of the buns into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Layer the cooked sausage patties evenly over the buns.

  11. In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder and onion powder.
  12. Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops of the buns.
  13. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
