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.

Step 5: Bake

Cover with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 5–7 minutes until tops are golden and cheese is melted.
