If you’re looking for a delicious, versatile breakfast option look no further than a simple french toast recipe made with Hawaiian sweet rolls. Or the classic Christmas Morning cinnamon rolls too! Ahh, forget it – that one’s good any day of the year.

What I love about using those sweet little Hawaiian rolls is they’re a perfect blend of sweet bread & fluffy texture. Most important, you can enjoy them with savory fillings, or sweet! Taking your breakfast game all the way to the next level.

However, you can also use them with sheet pan eggs for an elevated classic breakfast. Maybe even a Cuban slider twist! Any time we make sliders it’s a hit in this house. The melty goodness of any remaining cheese generously sprinkled on top of the bun by little hands. 

I’ll share a breakfast slider recipe at the end of this post. And girl…. it’s sure to satisfy your morning cravings. So good, even if you have leftover dinner rolls from last night you can make these cheese sliders. (Before we get into this forreal forreal, here’s a simple sweet Hawaiian roll recipe you can use if you don’t have any on hand.)

• 12 sweet Hawaiian rolls
• 8 large eggs
• 1 pound savory sausage
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese* (see Notes)
• 2 tablespoons salty butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• Fresh berries (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

Preparation:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper.
2. Using a serrated knife, slice the sweet Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom buns in the prepared pan.

Cooking the Sausage & Eggs:

3. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the savory sausage until browned and fully cooked. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
4. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with black pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the same skillet and scramble eggs over medium heat until fully cooked.

Assembling the Sliders:

5. Evenly distribute the cooked sausage over the bottom of the rolls.
6. Layer the scrambled eggs on top of the sausage, followed by the shredded cheese.
7. Place the top of the buns over the cheese to complete your sliders.

Baking:

8. Melt butter and brush it over the tops of the rolls. Cover the sliders with aluminum foil.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the tops of the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serving:

10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before cutting into individual pieces.
11. Serve warm, optionally with fresh berries on the side.

Tips for Storage & Reheating

Store leftover breakfast sliders in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll keep well for up to 3 days.

Wrap sliders in plastic wrap and reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through.

Notes:

* For a variation, try adding different kinds of cheese, like Colby Jack, Pepper Jack or American cheese, to your sliders.
