How to Make Crack Breakfast Sliders
Step 1: Scramble the Eggs
In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Cook in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until just set. Don’t overcook—they’ll finish in the oven!
Step 2: Prep the Rolls
Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected. Place the bottom halves in a greased 9×13 baking dish.
Step 3: Layer It Up
Evenly spread scrambled eggs over the bottom buns. Sprinkle on bacon, then cheese. Place the top buns on.
Step 4: Add the Butter Glaze
Mix melted butter, Dijon, Worcestershire, garlic powder, and poppy seeds. Brush generously over the tops of the buns.
