Breakfast sausage is such a versatile ingredient that I've used it in quite a few different recipes including these breakfast sliders.
Have you had a chance to try my Garlic Parmesan Cheesy Sausage Bombs? Or, my Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Monkey Bread is one of my favorite hearty breakfast ideas.
If you're looking for a dinner recipe that uses sage breakfast sausage. you have got to try this delicious Sausage Gravy and Biscuit Skillet recipe. You can have it on the table in just 30 minutes. It's perfect for your busiest nights.
Breakfast sandwiches really are one of my favorite make-ahead easy breakfast ideas. And, when it comes in a breakfast slider size, it's even better.
If you change up the ingredients, you have enough slider recipes to have a different breakfast or lunch almost every day.
Can I freeze these breakfast sliders?
Yes! One of the easiest ways to save time on a busy morning is by preparing your breakfast the day or weekend before.
Take some time on the weekend and make a batch of these breakfast sliders so you have breakfast all week.
Once the sliders are cooled, place each one (or two) in a freezer bag. They will stay good in the freezer for up to three months this way.
When you want to have one for breakfast, just take it out of the freezer and put it in the oven for a few minutes while you're getting ready for the day.
By the time you're ready to eat, you'll have a hot egg and breakfast sausage slider ready for you to eat.
Ingredient variations
These breakfast sliders use eggs, breakfast sausage, and cheese. But, you can alter the ingredients if you want to. Why not try breakfast sliders with biscuits instead of Hawaiian dinner rolls.

Helpful Tips to make Cheesy Sausage and Egg Breakfast Sliders To make for tailgating use a disposable foil pan or wrap individually in foil and keep warm. Sliders can be prepared a day ahead and popped in the oven before the big game.
If you prefer, you can cut back on the amount of maple syrup you use for a slightly less sweet breakfast slider recipe. Just use the same amount of butter and adjust the syrup as needed.
What you will need to make Cheesy Sausage and Egg Breakfast Sliders
- A large skillet – ideally one that’s more than 12 inches in diameter.
- 9x13 Baking Dish - I have my favorites and this set is one of them. The 9x13 is perfect for casseroles and the smaller size is awesome for making 1/2 a casserole recipe.
