How to Make Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sliders

- Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and buns are golden.
- Serve: Let cool slightly before slicing and serving warm.
Helpful Tips
- Even Patties: Make patties slightly larger than buns—they shrink while cooking.
- Egg Prep: Slightly undercook eggs as they finish in the oven.
- Layering: Use different cheese combos for more flavor depth.
- Glazing: Let glaze drip down the sides for extra flavor.
- Resting Time: Allow sliders to sit for a few minutes before slicing.
Substitutions And Variations
- Meat Options: Try bacon, ham, or turkey sausage.
- Cheese Swaps: Use Swiss, cheddar, provolone, or mozzarella.
- Veggie Add-Ins: Add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers.
