Ingredients

Scale

Slider Components

  • 12 slider buns
  • 12 slices of cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
  • Optional: hot sauce or ketchup for serving

Bacon

  • 12 slices of bacon

Eggs

  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon of butter
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the bacon.
  2. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. If available, place a wire rack on top to allow the bacon to cook evenly.
  3. Arrange the Bacon: Lay the 12 slices of bacon in a single layer on the foil-lined baking sheet or on the wire rack.
  4. Bake the Bacon: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the bacon is crispy and golden brown.
  5. Drain the Bacon: Remove the bacon from the oven and transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
  6. Whisk the Eggs: Crack 12 large eggs into a large bowl, season with salt and pepper, then whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  7. Heat the Pan: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and hot.
  8. Cook the Eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and let them cook undisturbed for about 1 minute until the edges start to set.
  9. Scramble the Eggs: Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, cooking until they are just set but still slightly soft and creamy, approximately 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  10. Prepare the Slider Buns: Slice the 12 slider buns horizontally in half. Optionally, toast them in the oven for added texture.
  11. Assemble the Sliders: On each bottom bun half, layer one slice of bacon, a scoop of scrambled eggs, and then one slice of cheddar cheese.
  12. Top the Sliders: Place the top half of the slider bun over the cheese layer to complete each slider.
  13. Preheat Oven for Melting Cheese: Lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  14. Melt the Cheese: Arrange the assembled sliders on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes until the cheese melts and the buns become slightly toasted.
  15. Serve: Remove from oven and serve immediately. Optionally drizzle with hot sauce or ketchup as desired.
