Mini Breakfast Sliders - Ladle Signal

# What You'll Need:

→ Slider Assembly

01 - 8 mini slider buns

02 - 8 small breakfast sausage patties (about 1.4 oz each)

03 - 4 large eggs

04 - 4 slices cheddar cheese, halved

05 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

06 - 2 tbsp maple syrup

07 - 1 tbsp mayonnaise (optional)

→ Seasonings

08 - 1/4 tsp salt

09 - 1/8 tsp black pepper

→ Garnish (optional)

10 - Fresh chives, finely chopped

# How to Make It:

01 - Set oven temperature to 350°F.

02 - Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook sausage patties until browned and fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and keep warm.

03 - Wipe out skillet, then whisk eggs with salt and black pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-low heat, pour in eggs, and gently scramble until just set. Remove from heat.

04 - Slice slider buns horizontally. Spread bottom halves with mayonnaise if using. Layer with scrambled eggs, one sausage patty, and half a slice of cheddar cheese. Drizzle each with maple syrup.

05 - Top sliders with remaining bun halves. Arrange on a baking tray, brush tops with remaining butter, and bake for 5-7 minutes until cheese melts and buns are lightly toasted.

06 - Sprinkle fresh chives over sliders if desired. Serve warm.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -

They're small enough to eat with one hand while chatting, but satisfying enough that nobody feels cheated.
You can assemble them ahead and just pop them in the oven when you're ready, which means less stress and more time with your guests.
That sweet maple syrup against the savory sausage and melted cheese creates this perfect balance that feels fancy without being fussy.

02 -

Don't skip the optional mayo—it genuinely changes the texture of the final bite by preventing sogginess, and you barely taste it.
The buns go into the oven already assembled, not separately, because you want the cheese and eggs to bond with the bread as it toasts.
If your eggs are overcooked or your buns are dry before the cheese melts, everything falls apart; medium-low heat and careful timing prevent both disasters.
