Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Seasoning
- 10 large eggs
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Buns and Fillings
- 12 ounces Hawaiian sweet slider buns (1 package)
- 12 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ pound thinly sliced honey ham
Topping Glaze
- ¼ cup salted butter, melted (½ stick)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon whole grain Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a small baking sheet by spraying it with nonstick spray or lining it with foil for easy cleanup. Set aside.
- Scramble Eggs: Over medium heat, scramble the eggs, seasoning with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste. Cook until just set to your liking, then remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare Buns: Without separating the slider rolls, slice the entire batch in half horizontally. Place the bottom half of the buns on the prepared baking sheet, keeping them intact as one piece.
- Add Cheese Layer: Place 6 slices of sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the bottom half of the rolls to create a melty base layer.
- Layer Eggs and Ham: Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the cheese, then layer the thinly sliced honey ham on top, followed by the remaining 6 slices of cheese to top the fillings.
- Top with Buns: Place the top half of the slider buns over the fillings, completing the sandwich layers.
- Make Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the melted salted butter, brown sugar, and whole grain Dijon mustard. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Apply Glaze: Pour the butter mixture evenly over the tops of the slider buns. Use a brush to fully coat the buns with the glaze, ensuring they are well covered for maximum flavor and browning.
- Bake Sliders: Bake the assembled sliders in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and the tops of the buns are golden brown and crisped. Remove from oven and serve warm.
Notes
- Use Hawaiian slider buns with a soft, slightly sweet texture for the best flavor contrast.
- If you prefer, substitute the honey ham with turkey or bacon for variation.
- You can prepare the glaze ahead of time and keep it refrigerated until ready to use.
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the scrambled eggs.
- These sliders can be kept warm in a low oven if serving multiple batches.
- Leftovers can be wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat in a toaster oven to restore crispiness.
