Ingredients
- 12 slider buns (Hawaiian sweet rolls work perfectly)
- 12 slices thick-cut bacon
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted (for topping)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the bacon: Cook thick-cut bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels and reserve 1 tablespoon bacon fat.
- Scramble the eggs: Whisk eggs with cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook in reserved bacon fat over medium-low heat, stirring gently until just set, about 3-4 minutes.
- Prepare buns: Preheat oven to 350°F. Slice connected slider buns in half horizontally, keeping each half intact.
- Assemble sliders: Place bottom buns in greased 9×13-inch dish. Layer with eggs, bacon, and cheese. Top with upper buns.
- Make garlic butter: Mix melted butter, minced garlic, chives, and poppy seeds. Brush over tops.
- Bake: Cover with foil and bake 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake 5-10 minutes more until golden.
- Serve: Cool 2-3 minutes before cutting into individual sliders. Serve hot!
Notes
Make-Ahead Tips: Assemble completely, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Add 5-10 minutes to baking time if cooking from cold.
Storage: Store leftovers in refrigerator for up to 4 days. Freeze cooked sliders for up to 3 months.
Substitutions: Use turkey bacon for lighter option, or gluten-free buns for dietary needs. Swiss or American cheese work great too!
