Ingredients

Scale

Slider Components

  • 8 soft slider buns
  • 4 large eggs
  • 6 strips of bacon
  • 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for toasting)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • Hot sauce or BBQ sauce, to taste
  • Vegetarian substitutions: sautéed mushrooms or veggie sausage patties instead of bacon
  • Southwest style additions: diced jalapeños and pepper jack cheese
  • Avocado slices
  • Alternative meats: ham, turkey bacon, or sausage links
  • Cheese alternatives: gouda, mozzarella, or spicy cheddar

Instructions

  1. Toast the Buns: Spread butter on both sides of each slider bun. Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the buns until they turn golden brown and slightly crispy, adding texture and warmth to the base.
  2. Cook the Bacon: In the same skillet, cook bacon strips until crisp but not overly dry. Remove and drain on paper towels to eliminate excess grease while maintaining crunch.
  3. Scramble the Eggs: Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour into the skillet and cook over low-medium heat, gently scrambling until the eggs are fluffy and just set, avoiding overcooking for maximum softness.
  4. Assemble the Sliders: Place a generous scoop of scrambled eggs on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with crispy bacon strips followed by slices of cheddar cheese. Add any optional sauces or toppings like hot sauce, avocado, or jalapeños, then cover with the top bun.
  5. Melt the Cheese and Serve: For a gooey finish, place assembled sliders back in the skillet briefly, cover, and heat until the cheese melts perfectly. Serve immediately, warm and satisfying.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for softer scramble and richer flavor.
  • Remove eggs from heat while still slightly moist to preserve fluffiness.
  • Toast buns thoroughly with butter to prevent sogginess from eggs and bacon.
  • Drain bacon on paper towels for crispiness without greasiness.
  • Offer a variety of sauces on the side for guests to customize their sliders.
  • Assemble sliders just before serving to avoid sogginess.
  • Keep buns and fillings separate if storing leftovers for best texture.
