Breakfast Sliders

Ingredients

• 2 packages (1 pound each) ground pork sausage (I used Jimmy Dean – one regular and one hot)
• 8 eggs
• Salt and pepper
• 12 slices American cheese, unwrapped
• 1 package (12 total) dinner rolls
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• Everything bagel seasoning (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
2. Combine the packages of sausage and press into the prepared baking dish.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until pork sausage reaches desired doneness.
4. Carefully remove the large sausage patty from the pan to a paper towel covered cutting board.
5. Add the eggs to a medium bowl and whisk until well-combined.
6. In a large skillet, scramble the eggs over medium heat until just done (do not overcook); season to taste with salt and pepper, then remove from heat and set aside.
7. Meanwhile, wash and dry the baking pan (or use an entirely different one) and then place a piece of parchment paper in the bottom.
8. Without separating them, use a serrated knife to cut the dinner rolls in half horizontally.
9. Place the bottom half of the rolls on top of the parchment paper in the pan.
10. Place six pieces of cheese evenly over the dinner roll bottoms.
11. Carefully place the sausage on top of the cheese.
12. Spread the eggs evenly over the sausage.
13. Place the remaining pieces of cheese over the eggs.
14. Place the tops of the dinner rolls on top of the cheese.
15. Brush the butter evenly over the tops of the dinner rolls.
16. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the tops of the dinner rolls, if desired.
17. Bake in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until the tops of the dinner rolls are browned.
18. Remove from the oven, cut into sliders and enjoy.
