These cheesy baked breakfast sliders are so easy and perfect for feeding a crowd. I made assembly quick and easy by keeping the rolls attached, and I loaded them up with eggs, ham, and cheddar cheese. Topped with brown sugar Dijon butter sauce, these sliders are so moist, cheesy, and delicious!

Cheesy Baked Breakfast Sliders

I’ve made ham and cheese sliders with Hawaiian rolls before (and they are so good), but that’s more of a lunch recipe. I just had to turn that family favorite into a breakfast recipe, because I can’t get over how good they are. I added eggs, more cheese, and an amazing brown sugar Dijon butter sauce to give them a little but more sweetness. These breakfast sliders are the ultimate breakfast recipe for hungry families.

What’s in This Breakfast Sliders Recipe?

  • Eggs: I used 10 large eggs to make these sliders.
  • Slider Buns: I love to use Hawaiian rolls for this recipe, they have a nice sweetness that compliments the filling really well. Brioche slider buns would work great too.
  • Cheese: I love to use sharp cheddar cheese in these sliders, but any sliced cheese will do the job well!
  • Deli Ham: I used honey ham to add a little bit of sweetness, but any kind will work as long as it’s thinly sliced.
  • Butter: Salted butter adds moisture and flavor to the buns.
  • Brown Sugar: Adds a touch of sweetness to the buns.
  • Mustard: Whole-grain Dijon mustard adds a nice balancing tang to the buns.

Tips for Success

  • Spray your baking dish or line it with foil so that the baked sliders are easy to remove.
  • Treat the rolls as one when assembling them. Make sure you cover the entire length of the rolls as you add on the cheese, eggs, and ham.
  • I love this combo of eggs, ham, and cheese, but you could easily add bacon, sausage, or even hash browns!
  • You can easily make these breakfast sliders vegetarian by simply leaving out the ham. They are great without, or try swapping it for a plant-based option like Tofurky if you like.
  • Let the sliders cool for a few minutes before serving as they will be piping hot!

How to Store and Reheat

Store leftover breakfast sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating in a 350°F oven covered with foil for 20-30 minutes, or until warmed through.

Serving Suggestions

These breakfast sliders are quite filling all on their own, but I like to serve them up with a side of home fries and a bulletproof coffee or a simple mango smoothie.

I made this recently for a gal’s weekend. I was a little worried about creating a recipe I hadn’t personally tried first for a crowd. Let me just say that these sliders were a HUGE hit! I doubled the recipe and used Boars Head ingredients where I could. I wouldn’t substitute a single thing listed! They even heated up nicely in the oven the next morning. 10/10 would recommend making this.
