How to Make Cowboy Breakfast Sliders
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 7×11-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prepare it for the sliders.
Step 2: Prepare the Rolls
Split your rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves in the prepared baking dish evenly.
Step 3: Add Cowboy Butter
Evenly pour about 2 tablespoons of melted cowboy butter over the bottom halves of the rolls in the pan. This adds flavor and moisture.
Step 4: Layer the Fillings
Top with an even layer of scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheese. Make sure each slider gets a good helping!
Step 5: Assemble the Sliders
Place the top halves of the rolls on top of the cheese layer. Brush the tops of these rolls with another 2 tablespoons of melted cowboy butter to enhance their golden color.
Step 6: Bake Covered
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese is hot and bubbly.
Step 7: Bake Uncovered
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the tops turn a lovely golden brown.
Step 8: Serve
Remove from oven. Slice into individual sliders and serve warm with any remaining cowboy butter brushed over them or on the side for dipping. Enjoy your Cowboy Breakfast Sliders!

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Making Cowboy Breakfast Sliders can be simple, but there are a few common mistakes to watch out for to ensure your sliders turn out perfect.
- Skipping the cowboy butter: Not using or forgetting the cowboy butter can lead to dry sliders. Make sure to brush it over the rolls for extra flavor and moisture.
- Overfilling the sliders: Adding too much filling can make it hard to close the sandwiches. Stick to even layers of eggs, sausage, bacon, and cheese for best results.
- Not preheating the oven: Baking in a cold oven may result in uneven cooking. Always preheat your oven before baking the sliders to achieve that golden brown finish.
- Ignoring the aluminum foil: Forgetting to cover the dish with foil during the initial bake can cause the tops to brown too quickly. Covering helps melt the cheese evenly without overbaking.
- Cutting too soon: Slicing the sliders immediately after baking can result in a messy presentation. Let them sit for a few minutes before cutting them for cleaner slices.
