Ingredients

Scale

Sliders

  • 6 large eggs, scrambled
  • 8 ounces ground pork sausage, cooked
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled (about 1 cup)
  • 1 cup (113 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 package (12-count) King’s Hawaiian Rolls

Cowboy Butter

  • 1 recipe cowboy butter, melted, divided (typically consists of butter, garlic, herbs, and spices)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare baking dish. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 7×11-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set it aside.
  2. Assemble the bottom rolls. Split the King’s Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Add cowboy butter to rolls. Evenly pour about 2 tablespoons of the melted cowboy butter over the bottom halves of the rolls to infuse flavor and moisture.
  4. Layer the fillings. Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the rolls, followed by cooked ground pork sausage, crumbled bacon, and shredded sharp cheddar cheese, creating a generous and balanced layering.
  5. Top with roll halves and brush butter. Place the top halves of the rolls over the cheese layer. Brush the tops with 2 tablespoons of the melted cowboy butter to ensure a golden, flavorful crust.
  6. Bake covered. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Bake uncovered to brown. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes until the tops of the sliders turn a golden brown, creating a crispy top layer.
  8. Serve with cowboy butter. Remove from the oven, slice the sliders, and serve warm. Brush or dip with the remaining melted cowboy butter for extra richness and flavor.

Notes

  • Use freshly cooked bacon and sausage for best flavor and texture.
  • For easier serving, consider separating the sliders before baking or slicing after baking as directed.
  • Cowboy butter typically includes butter, garlic, chopped herbs, and spices—adjust seasoning to taste.
  • These sliders can be assembled in advance and baked just before serving.
  • Substitute other cheeses like pepper jack or mozzarella for variation.
  • Keep sliders warm by covering loosely with foil after baking if serving later.
