Ingredients
  

8 small slider buns

6 large eggs

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup diced green chilies (canned or fresh)

1/4 cup milk

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure it's ready for baking the sliders when you finish assembling them.

    Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a spacious mixing bowl, crack in the eggs, then add the milk, diced green chilies, garlic powder, onion powder, and season generously with salt and pepper. Whisk everything together vigorously until the mixture is thoroughly combined and slightly frothy.

      Cook the Egg Mixture: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt and foam slightly. Once the butter is bubbling, pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Gently stir the mixture with a spatula as it cooks, being careful not to overcook. You’re aiming for the eggs to be just set, creamy, and soft—about 5-7 minutes should do the trick. Once done, remove the skillet from the heat.

        Assemble the Sliders: Carefully cut each slider bun in half horizontally. On the bottom half of each bun, scoop a generous spoonful of the warm egg mixture, making sure to evenly distribute the eggs. Follow this with a substantial sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the eggs.

          Top the Sliders: Place the top half of each slider bun over the cheese. Arrange all the assembled sliders neatly on a baking sheet, ensuring they are snug but not squished together.

            Bake the Sliders: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the slider buns are lightly toasted and the cheese has melted into a gooey, delicious layer.

              Serve and Garnish: Once baked, carefully remove the sliders from the oven. If desired, garnish them with fresh cilantro or parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Serve the sliders warm for the best taste experience.
