Ingredients

• 12 slider buns – opt for whole wheat for a healthier twist
• 12 slices of bacon – you can substitute turkey bacon if you prefer
• 6 large eggs – feel free to add an extra egg for a fluffier filling
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese – other types like mozzarella or pepper jack work well too
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Butter for toasting the buns – for a buttery flavor, try garlic butter.

Instructions

Cook the Bacon:

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside, leaving a bit of the bacon grease in the pan for flavor.

Beat the Eggs:

In a bowl, whisk the eggs together with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Scramble the Eggs:

In the same skillet, over medium-low heat, pour in the beaten eggs. Stir gently until the eggs are just set, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in half of the cheese until melted.

Assemble the Sliders:

Slice the slider buns in half. Layer the bacon and scrambled egg mixture on the bottom half of each bun. Top with the remaining cheese.

Toast the Buns:

In the same skillet, add a little butter. Place the assembled sliders in the skillet, cover, and toast until the buns are golden brown and the cheese melts, about 3 minutes.

Healthier Alternatives

Looking to lighten up your Breakfast Bacon Egg Sliders? Consider using egg whites instead of whole eggs or adding some spinach or tomatoes to the scramble for added nutrients. You could also opt for avocado instead of cheese for a creamy texture and healthy fats.

Serving Suggestions

These sliders shine on their own, but you can elevate your breakfast even more by serving them with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad. A dollop of salsa or a drizzle of hot sauce can also add a fun kick.

Common Mistakes

One common mistake is overcooking the scrambled eggs, which can lead to a rubbery texture. Remember, the eggs will continue to cook a bit after you remove them from the heat. Also, make sure not to overcrowd the skillet when toasting the buns; give them room to get nice and crispy.
