Crack Breakfast Sliders Bacon

Crack Breakfast Sliders bring together everything you love about a hot breakfast in a pull-apart slider form. Layers of fluffy scrambled eggs, crisp bacon, and melty cheddar fill sweet Hawaiian rolls, all topped with buttery ranch glaze. These are one of those recipes that always get rave reviews at my family brunch spreads.

My family absolutely devours these. I first served them for a Sunday morning birthday breakfast and now they are requested for every big occasion.

Ingredients

• Large eggs: give the sliders their soft, pillowy base and protein power. Choose fresh eggs for best flavor
• Heavy cream: makes the scrambled eggs extra rich and tender. Look for cream with a high butterfat content
• Salt and pepper: are classic seasonings that bring out all the other delicious flavors
• Butter: prevents sticking when scrambling the eggs and adds flavor
• Bacon: provides crunch and that irresistible smoky bite. Go for thick-cut bacon for more texture
• Shredded cheddar cheese: melts beautifully and creates gooey layers. Sharp cheddar works best for flavor
• Melted butter: is brushed on top to give the rolls a golden finish
• Ranch dressing mix: adds a zesty, herb-packed punch to the finishing touch
• Hawaiian rolls: are the foundation with their soft texture and sweet taste. Choose fresh rolls for best results

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a nine by thirteen inch baking dish with nonstick spray so your sliders do not stick during baking

Make the Egg Mixture:

In a large bowl whisk eggs heavy cream salt and pepper thoroughly until the eggs are fully blended and slightly frothy

Scramble the Eggs:

Melt one tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and use a nonstick spatula to gently push the eggs from the edges to the center as they cook. Scramble until just set and fluffy then remove from the pan so they do not overcook

Cook the Bacon:

In the same skillet add the bacon slices and cook over medium high heat until crispy making sure not to crowd the pan. Once cooked transfer to a paper towel lined plate and let cool then cut each slice into four pieces

Prepare the Rolls:

Take the Hawaiian rolls and without separating them use a sharp knife to slice the entire loaf horizontally. Carefully place the bottom half into your prepared baking dish making sure not to break them apart

Assemble the Layers:

Evenly sprinkle one cup of shredded cheese onto the rolls. Add all of the scrambled eggs on top then cover the eggs with bacon pieces and finish by layering the remaining cheese

Add the Roll Tops and Ranch Butter:

Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese layer. In a small bowl mix the melted butter with ranch dressing mix and brush generously onto the tops of the rolls making sure every bit is covered

Bake the Sliders:

Put the baking dish in the oven and bake for fifteen to twenty minutes until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden. Let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving so you can pull apart clean sliders

My favorite part has always been the combination of ranch butter with sweet rolls. It takes me back to when we first made these for a family holiday breakfast and everyone kept going back for seconds and thirds

Storage Tips

Wrap leftover sliders tightly or store in an airtight container and keep in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat covered in the oven at three hundred degrees until warmed through for best texture. Avoid microwaving as it can make the rolls soggy

Ingredient Substitutions

Swap in cooked sausage or ham if you do not have bacon on hand. Use Monterey Jack or a cheese blend for variety or add wilted spinach peppers or sautéed onions to boost nutrition and flavor. For a lighter option try using half and half instead of heavy cream

Serving Suggestions

Serve sliders while still warm straight from the baking dish. Pair with fresh fruit salad or crispy hash browns to make a complete brunch spread. These also make a fun dinner option alongside a simple green salad

Cultural Context

Breakfast sliders are a creative twist on the classic American breakfast sandwich. They borrow inspiration from both diner breakfasts and game day party sliders blending comfort food with convenient serving style. Hawaiian rolls add a naturally sweet touch that sets them apart from traditional buns
