Ingredients Overview
To make irresistible Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders, you’ll need a few simple ingredients that bring maximum flavor. Here’s a break down:
- Hawaiian Sweet Rolls: Soft and slightly sweet, these rolls are the base that holds everything together. Their subtle sweetness pairs perfectly with savory fillings.
- Sausage: Ground pork sausage or pre-formed patties provide a savory, protein-packed component. Choose mild or spicy, depending on your preference.
- Eggs: Scrambled eggs add fluffiness and richness. You can season them with salt, pepper, or your favorite spices for extra flavor.
- Bacon: Crispy bacon slices add a smoky crunch. Microwaveable bacon works well for saving time, but feel free to use freshly fried strips if you can.
- Optional Add-Ins: Think shredded cheese for cheese sliders, caramelized onions, or even spinach for added flavor and texture. A drizzle of maple syrup or a brush of melted butter on top can also enhance the overall taste.
These elements come together quickly and easily, making this recipe ideal for rushed mornings or festive brunches.

There’s no limit to how creative you can get with Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders. They’re like a blank canvas for your breakfast cravings. Here are a few variations to try:
- Classic Breakfast Combo: Sausage, scrambled eggs, cheddar or American cheese, and a touch of black pepper for a timeless flavor.
- Southern Style: Swap out the bacon for deli ham and add a dollop of honey butter or pimento cheese.
- Sweet & Savory: Add a thin layer of strawberry jam or drizzle maple syrup over bacon and eggs. The contrast is heavenly!
- Loaded Veggie: Incorporate sautéed peppers, onions, and spinach for a healthier twist. Cheese lovers can sprinkle in mozzarella or feta.
- Spicy Kick: Use spicy breakfast sausage, pepper jack cheese, and top with a dash of hot sauce or jalapeños.
Every flavor combo starts with the same easy base of Hawaiian rolls, so you can mix and match ingredients based on what’s in your fridge or what you’re craving.
Step-by-Step Preparation Guide
Creating Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders is a straightforward process, but getting everything right means following a few simple steps. Here’s exactly how I do it, from prepping ingredients to pulling those warm sliders out of the oven.
1. Prep the Hawaiian Rolls
Start by slicing the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the top and bottom halves intact. Place the bottom of the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and set the top half aside.
2. Cook the Sausage Patties
Shape the pork sausage into square patties, about the size of the Hawaiian roll squares and 1 inch thick. Cook them in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned and fully cooked on both sides. Place the cooked sausage patties on the bottom half of the rolls, filling each square.
3. Scramble the Eggs
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them. Drain most of the grease from the skillet, then pour the eggs in and scramble them over medium heat. Scoop the scrambled eggs on top of the sausage patties.
4. Microwave the Bacon
While the eggs are cooking, heat the pre-cooked bacon in the microwave according to the package instructions. Once done, layer the bacon strips on top of the scrambled eggs.
5. Top the Sliders
Place the top half of the Hawaiian rolls over the bacon to assemble the sliders.
6. Prepare the French Toast Topping
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg yolks, heavy cream, and cinnamon. Brush this mixture generously over the top of the rolls.
7. Broil to Perfection
Place the sliders under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and slightly crisp. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.
8. Serve and Enjoy
Remove the sliders from the oven, slice them into individual portions, and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve immediately and enjoy the sweet, savory goodness!
Tips and Tricks for Perfect Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders
Want to make sure your sliders come out just right? Here are a few helpful tips to keep in mind:
1. Don’t Overcrowd the Skillet
When cooking the sausage patties, give them plenty of room in the skillet to cook evenly. If your skillet is smaller, cook them in batches to avoid steaming.
2. Keep the Eggs Fluffy
For the fluffiest scrambled eggs, cook them low and slow, stirring gently. Avoid overcooking to keep them soft and moist.
3. Brush the Topping Generously
Make sure to fully cover the tops of the rolls with the French toast mixture. This adds incredible flavor and helps create that golden, crispy finish.
4. Watch the Broiler
The broiler works fast! Stay close to the oven and check frequently to make sure the rolls don’t burn. You’re aiming for a light golden-brown color.
5. Make It Your Own
- Add shredded cheese to the eggs for extra creaminess.
- Swap microwave bacon for freshly cooked bacon if you have extra time.
- Use turkey sausage or veggie patties for a lighter or vegetarian option.
6. Storing and Reheating
Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for a quick warm-up or in the oven for a crispier finish.
With these tips, you’ll nail these sliders every single time. Next up, let’s look at a few fun ways to customize the recipe!

Notes
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I make these sliders ahead of time?
Yes! You can prep the sausage, eggs, and bacon ahead of time. Store them in separate containers in the fridge. Assemble the sliders just before adding the French toast topping and broiling so they stay fresh and flavorful.
2. What’s the best way to reheat leftovers?
For a quick reheat, use the microwave, but for crispy rolls, warm them in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes. Cover loosely with foil to prevent the rolls from drying out.
3. Can I freeze these sliders?
Absolutely! Assemble the sliders without the French toast topping and freeze them individually in airtight containers or freezer bags. When you’re ready to eat, let them thaw, add the French toast topping, and broil as directed.
4. Can I use regular bacon instead of microwave bacon?
Yes! Cook the bacon in a skillet or bake it in the oven until crispy. It will add a few extra minutes to the prep time but is totally worth it if you prefer freshly cooked bacon.
5. What’s a good substitute for heavy cream in the topping?
Half-and-half or full-fat milk will work well if you don’t have heavy cream however the texture may be lighter.
6. Can I use a different type of roll?
Of course! Hawaiian rolls are ideal for their sweetness and softness, but you can use dinner rolls, mini brioche buns, or slider buns if needed.
7. How can I make this recipe vegetarian?
Replace the sausage and bacon with plant-based alternatives or simply use scrambled eggs and veggies as the filling.
8. Do I have to use cinnamon in the topping?
Not at all! Cinnamon adds warmth, but you can leave it out or swap it for nutmeg, vanilla extract, or even a little maple syrup for a different flavor.
9. Can I add cheese to the recipe?
Absolutely! Cheese melts beautifully in this recipe. Add a layer of shredded cheddar, Swiss, or mozzarella over the eggs before topping with bacon.
10. How long will leftovers last in the fridge?
Store the sliders in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. They’re great for a grab-and-go breakfast!
