Breakfast Sliders Bacon Egg & Cheese Recipe

So You’re Hungry But Not in the Mood to Cook? Same.

Let’s be honest—mornings are tough. You’re half-awake, your hair looks like you wrestled a tornado, and your stomach is growling like it’s been three days since your last meal. But what if I told you there’s a way to make your morning a whole lot better—without needing Gordon Ramsay-level skills?

Enter breakfast sliders with bacon, egg, and cheese—the heroes of lazy mornings and hangry souls everywhere. These little flavor bombs are cheesy, meaty, and buttery all at once. Plus, they’re easy enough to make even if your brain hasn’t had its caffeine yet.

These sliders are perfect for lazy Sundays, brunch parties, or when you just want to feel like the kind of person who “makes breakfast from scratch” (even though it took, like, 25 minutes).

Why This Recipe Is Awesome

Because, my friend, it checks all the boxes:

• Fast: You can make these in less time than it takes to scroll TikTok for “breakfast ideas.”
• Easy: Seriously, even your roommate who burns toast can handle this.
• Delicious: Bacon, eggs, and cheese… need I say more?
• Customizable: Add sausage, jalapeños, or avocado if you’re feeling fancy.
• Crowd-pleaser: Great for feeding a hungry family—or just yourself when you’re “not sharing.”

Basically, it’s the kind of breakfast that makes people think you’ve got your life together (even if you totally don’t).

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s your delicious morning shopping list:

• 12 slider buns (Hawaiian rolls = chef’s kiss)
• 6 large eggs (the real MVPs of breakfast)
• 8–10 slices of bacon, cooked crisp (don’t skip on the crunch)
• 6 slices of cheddar cheese (or any melty cheese that speaks to your soul)
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted (because butter makes everything better)
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon milk or cream (for fluffier eggs—trust me)
• Optional toppings: sliced jalapeños, caramelized onions, avocado slices, or hot sauce (for the rebels among us)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cook That Bacon

Start by cooking your bacon until it’s crispy and golden. No floppy bacon allowed. Drain on paper towels and try not to eat half of it before it hits the sliders (good luck with that).

2. Scramble the Eggs Like a Pro

Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour into a pan and cook low and slow. You want soft, fluffy curds—not rubbery sadness.

3. Prep the Buns

Slice your slider buns horizontally (keep the tops and bottoms connected—it’s easier). Place the bottom halves in a baking dish.

4. Layer It Up

Add a layer of cheese, then spread your scrambled eggs evenly. Lay the crispy bacon over that, and top it all off with another layer of cheese (because, duh).

5. Cap It and Butter It

Place the top buns on and brush with melted butter. For extra flavor, mix the butter with a pinch of garlic powder or everything bagel seasoning.

6. Bake to Perfection

Pop into a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10–15 minutes, until the cheese is melty and the tops are golden.

7. Slice, Serve, and Devour

Cut into individual sliders and serve warm. Watch them disappear faster than your willpower at a dessert buffet.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Skipping the butter glaze: Don’t do it. It’s the difference between “meh” and “holy-wow.”
• Overcooking the eggs: You want creamy, soft eggs, not dry egg pebbles.
• Crowding the pan: Give those eggs room to breathe, man.
• Forgetting the cheese layer on top: Double cheese = double happiness.
• Using soggy bacon: Bacon should be crisp enough to snap, not flop.

Alternatives & Substitutions

Feeling creative? Go wild!

• No bacon? Use sausage, ham, or turkey bacon. (But like, why no bacon?)
• Cheese swap: American, Swiss, provolone, or pepper jack all work great.
• Gluten-free? Use GF slider rolls or small GF biscuits.
• Add veggies: Bell peppers, spinach, or even mushrooms for a pretend healthy version.
• Want it spicy? Add jalapeños, hot sauce, or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper.

You can even make these vegetarian—just ditch the bacon (but maybe add avocado so your heart forgives you).

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yep! Assemble everything the night before, wrap it up, and bake in the morning. Just don’t pre-bake or the buns will get soggy.

Can I freeze them?

Absolutely! Wrap each slider in foil and freeze. Reheat in the oven for 10–15 minutes at 350°F when ready. Easy peasy.

Can I use croissants instead of slider buns?

You can—but be prepared for next-level buttery heaven. Just maybe tone down the extra butter on top.

Can I make these without cheese?

Technically, yes. But also… why? Cheese is the glue that holds breakfast happiness together.

How do I keep the sliders from getting soggy?

Let the eggs cool a bit before assembling, and make sure your bacon is crisp. Also, don’t go overboard with butter (I can’t believe I just said that).

What if I don’t eat pork?

Use beef bacon, turkey bacon, or go full veggie with sautéed mushrooms. You’ll still get major flavor points.

Can I turn this into a breakfast casserole instead?

Oh, totally. Just layer all the ingredients in a baking dish and bake until bubbly. Boom—lazy version achieved.

Final Thoughts

There you have it—breakfast sliders with bacon, egg, and cheese that’ll make your morning a little brighter (and way tastier). Whether you’re feeding a crowd or just your own rumbling stomach, these sliders deliver every time.

They’re simple, satisfying, and dangerously easy to inhale. So, grab that spatula, pop open some buns (the bread kind, please), and make yourself a batch.

Now go impress someone—or just treat yourself, because honestly, you deserve it.
