FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, assemble the sliders, cover, and refrigerate overnight before baking.

What’s cowboy butter?

Cowboy butter is a savory melted butter blend with garlic and herbs—similar to a compound butter.

Can I use eggs cooked differently?

Scrambled eggs work best, but you can use fried or scrambled with cheese.

How do I keep sliders from getting soggy?

Don’t overcook eggs, and brush butter generously to keep buns moist but not soggy.

Can I freeze the sliders?

Yes, freeze before baking. Thaw overnight and bake as directed.

What if I don’t have Hawaiian rolls?

Regular slider buns or dinner rolls make great substitutes.

Can I make these vegetarian?

Use plant-based sausage and omit meat for a vegetarian option.

How spicy are these sliders?

Mild by default; add hot sauce or spicy sausage for heat.

Can I add more layers?
