Can I make these the night before and bake in the morning?

Absolutely! Prepare everything up to the point of baking, cover with foil, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, remove from the fridge while the oven preheats, then bake as directed, adding 5 extra minutes to the baking time.

What's the best way to prevent the bottom of the sliders from getting soggy?

A thin layer of butter on the inside of the bottom rolls creates a moisture barrier. Another trick is to let your scrambled eggs cool slightly before assembling, which reduces steam and moisture.

Can I use different cheese or rolls?

Definitely! While American cheese melts beautifully, cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack work wonderfully too. As for rolls, potato rolls or regular dinner rolls make good substitutes, though they lack the signature sweetness of Hawaiian rolls.

How can I tell when the sliders are done baking?

The tops should be golden brown, not dark brown, and the cheese should be completely melted. If you have an instant-read thermometer, the internal temperature should reach 165°F.

Instructions

Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F to ensure it’s warmed up and ready to bake the sliders.
Prepare Eggs
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then pour in the egg mixture, cooking and scrambling gently until just cooked through. Set the scrambled eggs aside for assembling.
Prepare Rolls
Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, separating the tops from the bottoms while keeping the rolls together as a whole. Place the bottom half into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Layer Sausage
Arrange the sausage patties evenly across the bottom layer of the rolls. If necessary, cut the patties in half to ensure every roll gets a sausage portion.
Add Cheese
Cut the American cheese slices into smaller quarters and layer them evenly on top of the sausage patties.
Add Scrambled Eggs
Distribute the scrambled eggs evenly over the cheese layer. If any pieces of egg fall off during assembly, simply place them back on top for even coverage.
Top and Butter Rolls
Place the top half of the Hawaiian rolls over the layers. Brush the tops generously with melted butter for a golden finish.
Bake
Transfer the dish to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the roll tops are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Even Layering: Ensure all ingredients are distributed evenly so every bite is delicious.
Knife Tip: Use a sharp serrated knife to slice the rolls cleanly in half.
Golden Tops Only: Keep an eye on the sliders to avoid over-baking or burning the tops.
Reheat Tip: For leftovers, reheat in an air fryer to give a crispy roll texture.
Retain Moisture: If reheating in a microwave, cover with a damp paper towel to avoid dryness.
Perfect for Freezing: Make a big batch and freeze for quick, convenient breakfasts during busy weeks.
