These cheesy baked breakfast sliders are so easy and perfect for feeding a crowd. I made assembly quick and easy by keeping the rolls attached, and I loaded them up with eggs, ham, and cheddar cheese. Topped with brown sugar Dijon butter sauce, these sliders are so moist, cheesy, and delicious!
I’ve made ham and cheese sliders with Hawaiian rolls before (and they are so good), but that’s more of a lunch recipe. I just had to turn that family favorite into a breakfast recipe, because I can’t get over how good they are. I added eggs, more cheese, and an amazing brown sugar Dijon butter sauce to give them a little but more sweetness. These breakfast sliders are the ultimate breakfast recipe for hungry families.
What’s in This Breakfast Sliders Recipe?
- Eggs: I used 10 large eggs to make these sliders.
- Slider Buns: I love to use Hawaiian rolls for this recipe, they have a nice sweetness that compliments the filling really well. Brioche slider buns would work great too.
- Cheese: I love to use sharp cheddar cheese in these sliders, but any sliced cheese will do the job well!
- Deli Ham: I used honey ham to add a little bit of sweetness, but any kind will work as long as it’s thinly sliced.
- Butter: Salted butter adds moisture and flavor to the buns.
- Brown Sugar: Adds a touch of sweetness to the buns.
- Mustard: Whole-grain Dijon mustard adds a nice balancing tang to the buns.
Tips for Success
- Spray your baking dish or line it with foil so that the baked sliders are easy to remove.
- Treat the rolls as one when assembling them. Make sure you cover the entire length of the rolls as you add on the cheese, eggs, and ham.
- I love this combo of eggs, ham, and cheese, but you could easily add bacon , sausage, or even hash browns!
- You can easily make these breakfast sliders vegetarian by simply leaving out the ham. They are great without, or try swapping it for a plant-based option like Tofurky if you like.
- Let the sliders cool for a few minutes before serving as they will be piping hot!
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover breakfast sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating in a 350°F oven covered with foil for 20-30 minutes, or until warmed through.
Serving Suggestions
These breakfast sliders are quite filling all on their own, but I like to serve them up with a side of home fries and a bulletproof coffee or a simple mango smoothie .

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
