# What You Need:

→ Slider Assembly

01 - 8 mini slider buns

02 - 8 small breakfast sausage patties (about 1.4 oz each)

03 - 4 large eggs

04 - 4 slices cheddar cheese, halved

05 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F.

02 - In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage patties for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and fully cooked. Keep warm.

03 - Wipe the skillet clean. Whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-low heat, then gently scramble the eggs until just set. Remove from heat.

04 - Slice slider buns horizontally. Spread mayonnaise on bottom halves if using. Layer scrambled eggs, a sausage patty, and half a cheddar slice on each bottom bun. Drizzle with maple syrup.

05 - Place top buns on sliders. Arrange sliders on a baking tray. Brush tops with remaining butter. Bake for 5-7 minutes until cheese melts and buns are lightly toasted.

06 - Sprinkle with fresh chives if desired. Serve warm.
