storage/reheating

To store, allow the sliders to cool completely, then wrap them individually or place them in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 4 days. To reheat, bake at 300°F (150°C) for 8–10 minutes or microwave for 30–45 seconds until heated through. For best texture, avoid microwaving in plastic wrap or containers. These sliders are not ideal for freezing as the eggs may become rubbery when thawed.

FAQs

Can I make these sliders the night before?

Yes, you can assemble the sliders the night before, cover, and refrigerate them. Bake just before serving.

Can I freeze breakfast sliders?

Can I use scrambled egg patties instead?

What kind of sausage is best?

Let cooked components cool slightly before assembling and avoid over-scrambling the eggs to reduce moisture.

Can I use croissant dough instead of buns?

What size baking dish should I use?

A 9×13 inch dish works well to fit all 12 sliders snugly.

Can I cook everything in one pan?
