Ingredients Cowboy Breakfast Sliders What you’ll need (and optional twists)

12 Hawaiian rolls — soft, slightly sweet buns for easy stacking.

8 large eggs — fluffy eggs create a creamy filling.

1 lb turkey breakfast sausage — lean, savory goodness.

6 slices turkey bacon, cooked and chopped — crispy, smoky bites.

1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese — melty, bold flavor.

2 tbsp milk — helps eggs stay light and moist.

Salt and black pepper to taste — simple seasoning that shines.

For the buttery topping:

3 tbsp butter, melted — rich glaze to finish.

1/2 tsp garlic powder — savory aroma everywhere.

1/2 tsp onion powder — depth without fuss.

How to Make Cowboy Breakfast Sliders Step 1: Preheat and prepare the pan

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
This ensures even cooking and easy removal later.
I like a light spray or a dab of butter for extra nonstick—perfect for Cowboy Breakfast Sliders.

Step 2: Cook the turkey sausage

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through.
Remove and set aside to keep flavors concentrated.
If your sausage is loose, crumble as it cooks so every bite is savory.

Step 3: Scramble the eggs

Whisk eggs with milk, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
Scramble in the same skillet until just set; you want them fluffy but not overcooked.
I often temper the eggs with a quick swirl of cheese once off heat for extra silk.

Step 4: Layer the sandwich components

Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally and lay the bottom halves in the greased baking dish.
Layer scrambled eggs over the rolls, then sprinkle the cooked sausage, chopped turkey bacon, and shredded cheddar evenly.
This is where the Cowboy Breakfast Sliders come together and promise brunch bliss.

Step 5: Top and bake

Place the top halves of the rolls on.
Mix melted butter with garlic powder and onion powder, then brush over the tops.
Cover loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes, then uncover and bake 8–10 minutes more until cheese is melted and the tops are golden.

Step 6: Slice and serve

Remove from the oven, slice into 12 sliders, and serve warm.
Tip: if you’re entertaining, keep the tray warm in a low oven until you’re ready to serve.
These sliders disappear fast at casual gatherings.

Tips for Success

Make-ahead tip: assemble Cowboy Breakfast Sliders and refrigerate, then bake before serving for pull-apart texture. It saves morning chaos.

For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cheese and turkey bacon without sacrificing melt or flavor, texture.

Add color and heat with diced bell peppers or jalapeños for brightness and zing. They also add crunch.

Let the sliders rest 5–10 minutes after baking so cheese sets for clean slicing and neat plating.

Equipment Needed

9×13 baking dish — for the full Cowboy Breakfast Sliders tray.

Skillet (nonstick works best) — browns sausage and eggs evenly.

Mixing bowls — a small set keeps ingredients tidy.

Whisk — quick mixing; a fork can substitute.

Sharp knife — slicing and chopping with ease.

Optional: pastry brush — for butter glaze; silicone brushes work too.

Variations

I like swapping turkey sausage for pork sausage in Cowboy Breakfast Sliders for a different flavor.

I swap cheddar for pepper jack or mozzarella to change the melt—milder or spicier.

I add sautéed onions, peppers, or chives for color and aroma that wake up the plate.

Gluten-free option: use a gluten-free king’s roll substitute in Cowboy Breakfast Sliders instead of Hawaiian rolls.
