Step-by-Step: How to Make Breakfast Sliders

1. Prep the Rolls

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice the entire sheet of rolls in half horizontally (keep the bottoms and tops intact).
Place the bottom half in a baking dish.

2. Add the Fillings

Layer scrambled eggs evenly.
Add your cooked meat (halal sausage, turkey, or veggie patties).
Top with slices of cheese.
Add the top half of the rolls.

Mix the glaze ingredients.
Brush generously over the tops of the rolls.
Cover loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove foil and bake an additional 5–7 minutes until tops are golden and cheese is melted.
