Notes On The Ingredients:

You probably have most of the ingredients for this Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders in your kitchen already. If not, here’s what you should grab on your next grocery run:

  1. Hawaiian Rolls: We use these because they are soft and a bit sweet. They hold all our yummy fillings inside.
  2. Pork Sausage: This is our main meat. It’s hearty and full of flavor. We use it ground so it’s easy to bite into.
  3. Bacon: We add this for a crispy, salty kick. We bake it until it’s just right and then crumble it up.
  4. Eggs: These add a soft and fluffy layer. We whisk them and cook them just until they’re done.
  5. Milk: A little bit helps make the eggs soft and creamy. Whole milk works best for this.
  6. Cheddar Cheese: This gives us a melty, gooey layer. We use it shredded so it melts easily.
  7. Green Onions or Chives: These give a fresh, light taste. We chop them small and mix them in with the eggs.
  8. Salted Butter: This adds a rich, smooth flavor. We use it in the eggs and to make our sweet glaze.
  9. Maple Syrup: This gives a sweet touch to our sliders. We mix it with butter and brush it on top.
  10. Pepper: A sprinkle gives a tiny spicy hint. We use it freshly ground in our eggs.

Note: It’s okay to change things up! If you like a different cheese or meat, use those. Cooking should be fun and fit what you like to eat.

FAQs and Common Issues for Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders:

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use a different type of meat?

Absolutely! Feel free to substitute the pork sausage and bacon with turkey or chicken alternatives if you prefer a lighter option.

What can I serve with these sliders?

A fresh fruit salad or a light green salad would pair wonderfully with these hearty sliders, balancing the meal with a refreshing side.

How to Store Hawaiian Sliders?

To store sliders, let them cool first. Then, put them in an airtight container. Place the container in the fridge if you’ll eat them in 3-4 days. For longer storage, keep them in the freezer. When you want to eat them, warm them up in the oven or microwave. This keeps them tasty and safe to eat!

Common Issues while Making Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders:

Why Are My Sliders Soggy?

Sliders might be soggy due to too much fat or wet ingredients. Make sure to cook and drain the meat well. Also, apply the glaze on the top part only.

The sliders are sticking to the pan:

Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and make clean-up easier.

The cheese isn’t melting properly:

Shred your own cheese from a block instead of using pre-shredded cheese, as it tends to melt better.

The glaze is too thick/thin:

Ensure to measure the butter and maple syrup accurately. If it’s too thick, add a bit more syrup; if too thin, add more melted butter.

The eggs are overcooked and rubbery:

Cook the eggs over medium heat and keep them slightly underdone as they will continue to cook in the oven.
