How to Make Breakfast Sliders on Pretzel Buns

Ingredients

5 strips bacon
16 ounces ground pork sausage
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons whole milk
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
9 count mini pretzel slider buns (sliced into top buns and bottom buns)
4 slices Colby Jack cheese
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
Finely chopped fresh parsley (optional garnish)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking dish or baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Cook 5 strips of bacon until crisp, then transfer to a paper towel–lined plate.
Carefully drain the excess bacon grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan. Add 16 ounces of ground pork sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up as it cooks. Remove from heat.
Make the egg mixture in a medium-sized mixing bowl by whisking together 4 large eggs, 2 tablespoons of whole milk, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper. Reheat the cast-iron pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Add the egg mixture, and use a spatula to pull the eggs to the center of the pan to form soft curds until the eggs are set.
Arrange the bottom halves of the 9 count mini pretzel slider buns in the prepared baking dish. Evenly layer cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, 1 of the 4 slices of Colby Jack cheese, and a slice of bacon. Place the top buns on the breakfast mixture.
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in 1 tablespoon of pure maple syrup. Brush generously over the tops of the buns.
Bake uncovered for 10–15 minutes in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and the buns are warmed through.
Remove from the oven and garnish, if desired, with finely chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm and enjoy!
