These are the ultimate breakfast sliders. Crispy hash browns, melty cheese, crispy bacon, eggs and sausage all piled high onto maple brown sugar Hawaiian rolls. The tops get brushed with maple honey butter and broiled until crisp, and the rest of that butter is for dipping.
Why you’ll love these breakfast sliders
It’s a whole breakfast in one bite. Everything cooks at the same time, the bacon in the oven, the hash browns in the air fryer and the eggs and sausage on the stove, so it comes together in about 40 minutes. One pack of rolls makes 12 sliders, which is enough for a crowd.
What you need for the ultimate breakfast sliders
For the sliders it’s a package of King’s Hawaiian maple brown sugar slider rolls, a package of bacon, a pack of sausages, 4 hash browns, 6 eggs, a tablespoon of butter for the eggs and 12 slices of American cheese. The maple honey butter is 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon honey.
How to make the ultimate breakfast sliders, step by step
1. Bake the bacon
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lay the bacon out on a sheet pan and bake it for 12 to 15 minutes until it’s crispy.
2. Air fry the hash browns
Cook the hash browns in the air fryer according to the package instructions. For most frozen hash browns that’s about 10 minutes at 400°F, flipping them halfway, until they’re golden and crispy.
3. Sear the sausage
Slice the sausages lengthwise. Cook them in a pan over medium-high heat to get a sear, then flip and cook the other side.
4. Scramble the eggs
Scramble the eggs and cook them in a cast iron pan with a tablespoon of butter.
5. Make the maple honey butter
Add the maple syrup, butter and honey to a bowl. Microwave it for 30 to 60 seconds to melt everything, then mix it together.
6. Toast the rolls
Slice the rolls across so you have a top and a bottom. Toast the cut sides on a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes until they’re golden and crispy.
7. Assemble and bake
Layer the bottom rolls with cheese, then the hash browns, eggs, sausage and bacon. Add the rest of the cheese, then put the tops on. Turn the oven down to 350°F and bake the whole thing for 5 to 8 minutes to melt the cheese and crisp everything up.
8. Brush and broil
Brush the tops with the maple honey butter and broil for 1 to 2 minutes to get them crisp. Pull the sliders apart and serve them with the rest of the maple honey butter for dipping.
Pro tips
Don’t walk away from the broiler. The maple honey butter goes from crisp to burnt fast. And toast the rolls before you build, so the bottoms don’t get soggy.

Breakfast sliders FAQ
Can I use regular Hawaiian rolls?
Yes. The maple brown sugar ones add a little extra sweetness, but any Hawaiian slider rolls work.
What if I don’t have an air fryer?
Bake the hash browns in the oven according to the package instructions.
Can I make these ahead of time?
You can cook the bacon, sausage and hash browns ahead. Scramble the eggs, build the sliders and bake them right before you eat so they stay crisp.
