How to Make Crack Breakfast Sliders
Step-by-Step Assembly
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and greasing a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Whisk the eggs with heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Scramble them gently in a buttered skillet until fluffy—don’t overcook.
- Meanwhile, cook your bacon until it’s crisp, then break each strip into fourths.
- Slice your Hawaiian rolls horizontally in one solid piece. Set the bottoms into your baking dish.
- Layer with 1 cup of cheddar, the scrambled eggs, bacon bits, and top with the remaining cheese.
- Add the tops of the rolls.
Bake Until Golden & Gooey
Whisk melted butter with ranch seasoning and brush it generously over the slider tops. Cover with foil and bake for 15–20 minutes. For an extra golden top, remove the foil for the last 5 minutes. Serve them hot—and maybe snag one before they disappear.
Make-Ahead Tips & Variations
Want to prep ahead? Assemble everything except the butter topping, wrap tightly, and refrigerate overnight. When you’re ready, brush with the butter and bake as usual. These also freeze beautifully—just skip the butter until you’re ready to bake.
To reheat: warm in a 300°F oven until heated through (about 10–12 minutes). Microwave works too but won’t crisp the tops.
Variations: sub sausage patties, use turkey bacon, try dairy-free cheese, or swap cheddar for pepper jack if you want a little kick.
What to Serve with Crack Breakfast Sliders
These sliders are the main event, but they shine even brighter with a simple side:
- Creamy cheese grits
- Crispy roasted breakfast potatoes
- A juicy, fresh fruit salad
- Lightly dressed mixed greens or peppery arugula
Perfect for brunch, potlucks, or even breakfast-for-dinner night.
FAQ: Crack Breakfast Sliders
Can I make these ahead and reheat?
Yes! Assemble and bake, then refrigerate. Reheat in the oven at 300°F for about 10–12 minutes until warmed through.
What is “crack” seasoning exactly?
It’s that dangerously good trio of cheddar, bacon, and ranch that started with a viral dip in 2007. Now it’s made its way into sliders—and we’re not mad about it.
Can I freeze these sliders?
Totally. Wrap them well before baking (without the butter), freeze, then thaw and bake with the buttery topping when you’re ready.
