Step-by-Step Overview

Making Crack Breakfast Sliders is straightforward and quick. First, you’ll cook the bacon until crispy and prepare a fluffy egg mixture before combining them with melted cheddar. Then, layer the ingredients between slider buns, bake until toasted, and voila! You have a delightful dish perfect for any time of day.

What You’ll Need

Gather these items to make your Crack Breakfast Sliders:

12 small slider buns
12 slices of bacon
6 large eggs
1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup of milk
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons of butter
Optional: hot sauce or your favorite condiments for serving

Feel free to swap ingredients like using turkey bacon for a leaner option or trying different cheeses based on your preference.

Directions to Follow

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Once done, transfer them to paper towels to drain excess grease.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully blended.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture, cooking gently while stirring until the eggs are softly scrambled and still slightly runny. Remember, they’ll cook a bit more from residual heat.
When the eggs reach your desired consistency, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts and combines.
Slice each slider bun in half and arrange the bottom halves on a baking sheet.
Layer each bottom half with a slice of bacon, followed by a generous spoonful of the egg and cheese mixture.
Place the top halves of the buns on each slider.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the buns are lightly toasted and the cheese is bubbly.
For an extra kick, drizzle with hot sauce or serve with your favorite condiments.
Serve warm and enjoy the deliciousness of your Crack Breakfast Sliders!

Best Ways to Enjoy It

For the ultimate breakfast experience, serve these sliders with a side of fruit salad for a touch of sweetness or crispy hash browns for a heartier meal. Pair them with a steaming cup of coffee or a refreshing orange juice for a complete brunch spread. You can also add mimosas for a festive twist when hosting.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Leftover Crack Breakfast Sliders can be stored safely in an airtight container for up to three days in the fridge. To reheat, simply place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, making sure they’re heated throughout. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to two months; just thaw and bake when you’re ready to enjoy!

Tricks for Success

Make sure not to overcook the eggs; they will continue to set off the heat, resulting in perfect fluffiness.
For extra crunch, broil the sliders for the last minute in the oven to get that golden brown top.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese or add sautéed veggies for an added flavor boost.

Recipe Variations

Here are a few creative twists on the classic Crack Breakfast Sliders:

Swap bacon for sausage patties or turkey bacon for a healthier version.
Try different cheeses such as pepper jack for a spicy flair or feta for a Mediterranean touch.
Experiment by adding spinach, diced bell peppers, or mushrooms into the egg mixture for a veggie-packed option.
