Prepare slider buns: Slice all 12 rolls horizontally, in half lengthwise. Place the bottom halves of the slider buns in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Whisk eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until combined.
Cook eggs: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and stir until the eggs are scrambled and almost fully cooked. Remove from heat.
Layer ingredients: Place ham in an even layer over the bottom slider buns. Top with scrambled eggs and then a layer of cheese. Add the bun tops.
Prepare sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, dried minced onion, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and poppy seeds.
Brush sauce: Evenly brush the butter mixture over the sliders.
Cover and bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes at 350°F. Remove the foil and bake for 5 minutes more or until the buns are slightly toasted.
Substitutions and Variations
Cheese: Try swapping Swiss for cheddar cheese, pepper jack, Munster, mozzarella, or Havarti in your delicious breakfast sliders.
Meat: Bacon, breakfast sausage patties, bacon, or Canadian bacon. This is also a great recipe to use up any leftover ham from the holiday table.
Bread: Mini croissants, bagels or English muffins. Use Hawaiian rolls to make yummy Hawaiian roll breakfast sliders.
Maple syrup: Combine melted butter with 1 or 2 teaspoons of pure maple syrup.
Eggs: Customize with scrambled tofu or a plant-based egg substitute for a vegetarian option.
Sauce: Adjust the sauce by adding garlic powder, hot sauce or honey for a personalized taste.
Southwest style: Use pepper jack cheese, add diced green chilies to the egg mixture, and top with salsa or avocado slices.
Vegetarian: Replace meat with sautéed spinach, mushrooms, and bell peppers. Top with shredded mozzarella and marinara sauce.
Mini croissant sliders: Swap slider buns with mini croissants for a buttery and flaky texture.

How to Store Make Ahead Breakfast Sliders
Store: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, making them perfect for meal prepping.
Freezer: You can freeze these sliders by wrapping them individually in plastic wrap and storing them in a gallon-size Ziploc bag. They’ll stay fresh for up to three months.
Thaw: Thaw overnight in the fridge or heat from frozen.
Reheat: They can be reheated in the microwave for 2 minutes or in the air fryer for 5 minutes.
Top Tips
Batch make for freezer: You can easily double the recipe to 24 sliders and freeze them for a rainy day (or busy morning).
Choose fresh slider buns: This isn’t the recipe to use up old, stale buns. Rather, turn those into breadcrumbs for your freezer.
Control egg texture: Stir eggs constantly while cooking to achieve creamy scrambled eggs with a soft texture.
Layer evenly for balance: Distribute ham, scrambled eggs, and cheese evenly across the slider buns.
