Making these breakfast bagel sliders is really easy if you follow my simple instructions.
Cook the Sausage Patties
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grab a large pan and cook your sausage patties over medium-high heat until they’re perfectly browned on both sides and cooked through. Once they’re done, set them aside.
Scramble the Eggs
Without cleaning the pan (you want all that delicious flavor), scramble the eggs in the leftover sausage grease. Cook them until they’re fluffy and just set, then turn off the heat.
Assemble Your Sliders
In a 9×13 inch baking dish, lay the bottoms of your mini everything bagels. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each one, followed by a sausage patty.
Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the sausage patties. Top it all off with another slice of cheddar cheese, then cap it with the bagel tops.
Brush with Garlic Butter and Bake
Melt the butter in the microwave, mix in the garlic salt, and generously brush it over the tops of the bagels.
Pop the dish in the oven and bake for 5-10 minutes, just until the cheese is gooey and melted and the bagel tops are golden brown.
Serve and Enjoy
Once everything’s hot and melted, use a spatula to lift out the sliders and serve them up while they’re still warm. Enjoy every cheesy, savory bite!
Recipe Notes and Expert Tips
Here are some extra tips and tricks to make sure your breakfast bagels are perfect for you each time.
- Brown the Sausage Patties Well: Cook the sausage patties until they’re nicely browned to give your sliders extra flavor and a bit of a crispy edge.
- Use the Sausage Grease: Scrambling the eggs in the sausage grease adds tons of flavor you don’t want to miss.
- Cover for Melting: If you want the cheese to melt perfectly without over-browning the bagels, cover the dish with foil for the first few minutes of baking.
- Generous Garlic Butter: Don’t skimp on the garlic butter—it adds a mouthwatering richness to the bagel tops.
- Even Egg Distribution: Spread the scrambled eggs evenly across the sliders to make sure every bite is packed with flavor.
- Crispy Bagel Tops: For an extra crunch, broil the bagels for a minute or two after baking, but keep an eye on them so they don’t burn.
How to Store Leftover Breakfast Bagel Sliders
Got leftovers? No problem! Wrap each slider individually in plastic wrap or foil, and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
If you want to keep them longer, these sliders freeze well too—just pop the wrapped sliders into a freezer bag, and they’ll keep for up to a month. When you’re ready to eat, reheat them in the microwave or oven until warm and melty.
What to Serve With Breakfast Bagel Sliders
These sliders are amazing on their own, but if you want to round out your breakfast, serve them with a side of fresh fruit, crispy hash browns, or even a handful of tater tots.
A nice hot cup of coffee or some freshly squeezed orange juice would make the perfect pairing.
