Recipe: Texas Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Sliders

Ingredients:

• 24 ounces ground pork sausage (or 2 breakfast sausage rolls, like Jimmy Dean)
• 12 Hawaiian buns (or other slider buns)
• 8 large eggs, scrambled
• 6 slices pepper jack cheese
• 8 slices American cheese
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/4 cup maple syrup

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. Warm a large skillet over medium heat. Form the sausage into 12 patties, slightly larger than the buns. Add sausage patties to the skillet and cook until they’re fully done, about 3-4 minutes per side.
3. Meanwhile, cut the Hawaiian buns in half horizontally, keeping the bottom and top halves intact. Place the bottom half of the buns in a 7x10-inch or 9x13-inch baking dish.
4. Once your scrambled eggs are ready, spoon them onto the bottom half of the buns, followed by a layer of pepper jack cheese. Place the cooked sausage patties on top of the cheese and then layer the American cheese over the sausage.
5. Add the top buns and press down gently.
6. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and maple syrup. Brush the mixture generously over the top of the buns, letting it drip down the sides and into the bottom of the dish.
7. Bake the sliders in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Serve warm and enjoy the perfect Texas breakfast!
