Ingredients
  

12 small slider buns (preferably sweet Hawaiian-style)

8 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup diced cooked bacon or sausage (optional)

1 tablespoon butter

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional, for added flavor)

1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for a touch of sweetness)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This temperature will ensure the sliders develop a lovely golden color during baking.

    Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a sizable mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Dijon mustard (if you choose to include it). Whisk vigorously until the mixture is uniform and fluffy.

      Cook the Eggs: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Once it's melted, pour in the egg mixture. Cook the eggs gently, stirring frequently, until they are just set but still soft and slightly runny. If you’re using diced bacon or sausage, add it to the eggs during the last minute of cooking. Remove from heat, and gently fold in the chopped chives.

        Assemble the Sliders: On a clean cutting board, slice each slider bun in half widthwise. Arrange the bottom halves snugly in a greased baking dish.

          Layer the Cheese: Evenly sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the base of the slider buns. Follow this by layering the scrambled egg mixture on top of the cheese.

            Finish with More Cheese: Add the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the scrambled eggs, and carefully place the top halves of the buns onto each slider.

              Brush with Maple Syrup: For an enticing twist, lightly brush the tops of the slider buns with maple syrup before baking. This adds a hint of sweetness that contrasts beautifully with the savory flavors.

                Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, then carefully remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the tops to become crisp and the cheese to melt to a gooey perfection.

                  Serve: Once they are golden and bubbling, take the sliders out of the oven and allow them to cool for a minute. Carefully cut the sliders apart and serve warm. For an extra touch, garnish with additional chopped chives, if desired.
