¼ tsp black pepper
8 slices bacon, cooked crisp and chopped
6 slices cheddar cheese (or American cheese)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

For the Butter Glaze

3 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
½ tsp garlic powder
1 tsp poppy seeds (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat oven: Set to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Prepare eggs: Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Cook in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring gently until softly scrambled. Set aside.
Assemble rolls: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected. Place the bottom layer in the baking dish.
Layer toppings: Spread scrambled eggs evenly over the bottom rolls. Add chopped bacon, cheddar slices, and shredded mozzarella.
Add the tops: Place the top half of the rolls over the fillings.
Brush with glaze: Combine melted butter, maple syrup, garlic powder, and poppy seeds. Brush over the tops of the rolls.
Bake: Cover loosely with foil and bake 10 minutes. Uncover and bake 5 more minutes until golden and melty.
Serve: Slice into individual sliders and enjoy warm!

Tips for Success

Don’t overcook the eggs — they’ll continue to cook in the oven.
Use a serrated knife to slice the rolls cleanly.
Add a slice of American cheese for extra creaminess.
For crispier tops, broil the sliders for 1 minute at the end.
Freeze leftovers in foil; reheat in the oven for 10 minutes.
Try turkey bacon or sausage for a lighter twist.

Sausage sliders: Swap bacon for sausage patties or crumbles.
Veggie version: Add sautéed mushrooms, onions, or spinach.
