Ham and Cheese Breakfast Sliders

There’s something irresistible about warm, gooey sliders straight from the oven. These breakfast sandwiches were born during a holiday weekend with extended family, when I needed a breakfast that could feed a crowd without keeping me in the kitchen all morning. The sheet pan preparation allows for assembly the night before, making morning hosting effortless while still delivering a hot, impressive breakfast.

Ingredients

• 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls (kept intact as a slab)
• 8 large eggs, scrambled and seasoned
• 8 slices ham
• 6 slices Swiss cheese
• 6 slices cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
2. Without separating the rolls, slice the entire slab horizontally to create a top and bottom.
3. Place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish.
4. Layer half the cheeses over the bottom layer.
5. Arrange ham slices evenly over the cheese.
6. Spread scrambled eggs over the ham.
7. Sprinkle green onions over the eggs.
8. Top with remaining cheese slices.
9. Place the top half of the rolls over the filling.
10. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, mustard, honey, poppy seeds, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
11. Brush the butter mixture over the top of the rolls.
12. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
13. Remove foil and bake for another 5-7 minutes until tops are golden brown.
14. Let rest for 5 minutes before cutting into individual sliders.

Recipe Notes

• Make ahead option: Assemble the night before, refrigerate, and add 5 minutes to covered baking time.
• Try different meat options like bacon, sausage patties, or Canadian bacon.
• Add sliced avocado or tomato just before serving for freshness.
• For a spicy kick, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the egg mixture or use pepper jack cheese.
