Why Make This Sheet Pan Breakfast Sliders With Ham And Cheese Feeds 12

This recipe is a game-changer for anyone who loves hosting but hates the cleanup. Using a sheet pan allows you to assemble and bake 12 portions simultaneously, ensuring everyone eats a hot meal at the same time. The combination of sweet Hawaiian rolls and salty ham creates a flavor profile that appeals to both kids and adults. Plus, these sliders are incredibly sturdy, making them easy to grab and eat with one hand while you enjoy your morning coffee.

Ingredients

• 1 pack (12 count) Hawaiian sweet rolls
• 1/2 pound deli-sliced ham (honey or smoked)
• 8 large eggs
• 1/4 cup whole milk
• 6 slices Swiss or Provolone cheese
• 6 slices Sharp Cheddar cheese
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1: Prep the Oven and Rolls

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Take the entire pack of Hawaiian rolls and, without pulling them apart, slice the block in half horizontally using a long serrated knife. Place the bottom half of the rolls onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 2: Scramble the Eggs

Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until well combined. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat with a small pat of butter. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until the eggs are just set and fluffy. Do not overcook them, as they will cook further in the oven. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Sliders

Layer the Swiss cheese slices evenly over the bottom half of the rolls. Spread the scrambled eggs over the cheese layer. Next, fold the ham slices and place them on top of the eggs to ensure every slider gets a generous portion. Top the ham with the Cheddar cheese slices. Finally, place the top half of the rolls over the cheese to close the sandwiches.

Step 4: Glaze and Bake

In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, onion powder, and poppy seeds. Use a pastry brush to coat the tops of the rolls generously with the butter mixture. Cover the sheet pan loosely with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown. Slice into individual sliders and serve immediately.

Expert Tips for Perfect Sheet Pan Breakfast Sliders With Ham And Cheese Feeds 12

To get the best results, always use a serrated knife to cut the rolls; this prevents squishing the soft bread. If you want a crispier bottom, you can lightly toast the inside of the rolls under the broiler for 1-2 minutes before adding your toppings. To prevent the tops from burning while ensuring the cheese melts thoroughly, don’t skip the foil-covering step for the first half of the baking time. Also, try to use high-quality deli meat sliced thin for better texture in every bite.

Delicious Variations

You can easily customize these sliders to suit your taste. Swap the ham for cooked crispy bacon or savory sausage patties. For a spicy kick, use Pepper Jack cheese and add a few diced jalapeños to your scrambled eggs. If you prefer a vegetarian version, replace the ham with sautéed spinach, mushrooms, and roasted red peppers. For a sweeter twist, omit the onion powder and poppy seeds and add a drizzle of maple syrup to the butter glaze.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

Yes! You can assemble the sliders (excluding the butter glaze) the night before. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in the fridge. In the morning, add the glaze and bake. You may need to add 5 extra minutes to the baking time if they are cold from the refrigerator.

How do I store and reheat leftovers?

Store any leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap them in foil and bake at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or microwave them for 30-45 seconds, though the oven method keeps the bread from getting soggy.

Can I freeze these breakfast sliders?

Absolutely. Wrap individual sliders in plastic wrap and then foil, and store them in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating in the oven for the best texture.

What is the best cheese to use?

I recommend a combination of Swiss and Cheddar for a balance of nutty and sharp flavors. However, any good melting cheese like Havarti, Monterey Jack, or even Gruyère works beautifully for these sliders.

Do I have to use Hawaiian rolls?

While Hawaiian rolls are preferred for their sweetness and soft texture, you can use any small dinner rolls or slider buns. Just ensure they are packed closely together on the sheet pan to keep the moisture in during baking.

Sheet Pan Breakfast Sliders with Ham and Cheese are the ultimate crowd-pleaser that minimizes kitchen time and maximizes flavor.
