The Best Breakfast Sliders!
- White Castle started introducing frozen sliders back in the day but the trend lives on and now home cooks can make sliders in no time in the air fryer!
- No need to turn on the oven to bake sliders when these can be made in minutes using the air fryer!
- Versatile and grab-and-go, kids can enjoy hearty breakfast sliders not just for brunch, but as an afterschool snack or a fun picnic treat! Sneak in a few spinach leaves or shredded zucchini for a veggie boost.
- Breakfast sandwiches are great for healthy appetites, delicious, and kid-size friendly, but hearty enough for grown-ups too!
Ingredients and Variations
Eggs – Large eggs are used in this recipe, but you can use a carton of pre-mixed eggs or all egg whites as well. Egg substitutes and slices of tofu or seitan are good sources of protein as well.
Ham – Use any deli-sliced ham or cooked bacon, or sausage patties. Plant-based meat products will also work as long as they are pre-cooked.
Cheese – Cheddar cheese is most common because of its sharper flavor, but any sliced cheese will do. Thinner slices and shredded cheeses will melt faster.
Rolls – Hawaiian rolls are sweet, light, and fluffy. Leftover dinner rolls, slider buns, biscuits, Texas toast, or garlic bread are also good choices. Use a bagel to make a breakfast sammie and then cut it into bite-sized pieces if that’s what’s on hand.
Topping – A savory, buttery topping with everything bagel seasoning adds flavor and browns the cheese breakfast sliders beautifully. Try a light brushing of maple syrup or a butter and dijon mustard combo. Sprinkle on salt, poppyseeds, or parmesan cheese, for a new flavor every time.
Variations – Switch up the ingredients to suit your tastes or use what’s on hand. For example, if you’re vegetarian, you can use a vegetarian breakfast sausage or skip the meat altogether and add some sautéed mushrooms instead.
