Ingredients
Slider Components
- 4 pieces Slider buns Soft and pillowy; whole grain or gluten-free options may be used.
- 8 pieces Eggs Fresh eggs are best; can also use duck eggs for richer flavor.
- 8 slices Bacon Crispy, smoky bacon; turkey bacon or plant-based alternatives can be substituted.
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese Sharp cheddar preferred, but gouda or mozzarella can be used.
- 2 tablespoons Fresh herbs Chopped chives or parsley to elevate flavor.
- to taste Salt Essential seasoning.
- to taste Pepper Essential seasoning.
Instructions
Cooking Steps
- Preheat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the bacon strips in the skillet for about 5-7 minutes until crispy, turning occasionally, then drain on paper towels.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the same skillet, and stir gently, cooking until just set but still soft (about 3-4 minutes).
- Cut slider buns in half and place a layer of scrambled eggs on the bottom half, followed by a strip of bacon and a slice of cheddar cheese.
- Top with the other half of the bun and return the sliders to the skillet, covered, for 1 minute to melt the cheese slightly.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs before serving.
Notes
For a healthier option, use egg whites or a healthy egg substitute. You can also swap bacon for spinach or avocado. Seasonal additions include fresh tomatoes in the summer or sautéed mushrooms in the winter.
