Make These Breakfast Sheet Sliders for Christmas Morning
Do you know what I like to do for Christmas? Take food. Do you know what I don’t like to do for Christmas? Cleaning. You know what allows me to eat a lot and very little to clean? The sliders for bacon, eggs and cheese you see above cook completely on one baking sheet.
Yes, you heard me (or read) correctly. Each component of these sandwiches is cooked in one pan. There are now some shift changes (you cannot cook bacon at the same time as eggs), but it is very simplified (you cook eggs in glass with bacon ). After each individual slider element is cooked, it is folded over the top of the sweet and buttery Hawaiian rolls and then placed back in the oven to completely melt the cheese.
Aside from the baking sheet, the only things you’ll need is a bacon rack, a butter dish, and a baking brush or spoon, so we’re only covering four items you need to wash (aside from your oily hands). To work these morning Christmas miracles, you will need:
- 1 pack of 12 Hawaiian Sweet Rolls (I love King’s because they are the best).
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 10 strips of bacon
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- Salt and pepper to taste, or any other seasoning that can be added to the eggs.
- 4 slices of American cheese
Preheat oven to 375 ℉ and turn on the broiler. Cut the buns in half, being careful not to separate them from each other. (You should have two very large slices of bread.) Brush both halves with melted butter, then place them on a baking sheet and place under the broiler. When they are nice and golden brown, remove the skillet from the oven and set the buns aside.
Turn off the broiler, but leave the oven at 375 ℉. Place a wire rack in a baking sheet and place 10 strips of bacon. Return the baking sheet to the oven and cook the bacon until it is as crispy as you like (20-30 minutes). Whisk eggs, milk, and seasonings while the bacon is cooking. When the bacon is done, remove the baking sheet from the oven, carefully remove the wire rack (with the bacon) and set it aside. Wrap the bacon fat around the skillet, including the edges, to make sure it is completely covered, then pour the egg and milk mixture into the skillet. Return it to the oven for 10-15 minutes, until the eggs are swollen around the edges and firm in the middle.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the two outer thirds of the egg leaf over the middle third so that it is about the size of your Hawaiian rolls, then place the bottom half of the roll on top of the eggs. Turn the skillet over to pour the eggs into the bread, then place the bread on a cutting board or something else, wiping off any pieces of egg from the baking sheet. Return both slices of bread back to the pan, place the strips of bacon on top of the egg and place the slices of cheese on top of the other slice of bread. Return the whole thing to the oven for another five minutes or so, until the cheese is completely melted, and then spread over the sandwiches. Cut into individual portions with a large knife – to better break up the bacon – rip apart and eat.
