Breakfast Sliders in Hawaiian Rolls
If you love breakfast sandwiches, you are going to love these delicious Hawaiian roll breakfast sliders. They are basically miniature versions of breakfast sandwiches, prepared on a large casserole or pan all in one go.
In my opinion, Hawaiian roll breakfast sliders is the ultimate breakfast sandwich dream. Hawaiian rolls are naturally buttery and slightly sweet, which makes it the perfect sandwich to be filled with cheesy scramble eggs, crispy thick pieces of bacon.
Then to top it off, we brush that sweet buttery rolls with creamy garlicky butter that moisten the rolls and bring incredible flavors. I mean, how does one go wrong with garlic butter…answer: you can’t!
In addition to holiday brunches, we also love a good Hawaiian roll breakfast slider for a hearty breakfast or brunch during the weekend. We enjoy it over the weekend, and always have leftovers for weekday mornings.
Pop those leftovers in the microwave and breakfast is ready in under 1 minute! Let me tell you, my husband and I are always super excited when we know we have these Hawaiian rolls breakfast slider leftovers in the refrigerator when we wake up in the morning.
The Hawaiian roll breakfast sliders recipe requires about 30 minutes of time (and much less if using cooked bacon), on simple and common ingredients that you can find in any grocery store.
So in other words, you can make this happen on regular basis! Whoop!!
Ingredients
Here are the ingredients you will need to make these delicious breakfast sliders:
- Hawaiian sweet rolls – this is basically enriched dough with a hint of sweetness to it. You can find them in 12-piece packs in the bread aisle. They are fluffy, moist, sweet and buttery.
- Large eggs – to make scrambled eggs.
- Sliced cheese – use your favorite cheeses that will melt quickly – American, Colby jack, cheddar etc.
- Bacon – you can cut down on the fat by using turkey bacon or Canadian bacon. For a quicker process, use pre-cooked bacon.
An important component is the garlic butter compound. Here are the ingredients you will need:
- Fresh garlic – avoid using garlic powder for best flavor.
- Butter – salted butter has a better flavor profile for this than unsalted.
- Salt – just a little pinch to further open up the flavors in the compound mixture.
How To Make It
Let’s make these Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders! Seriously, wait until you see how easy and quick this is!
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
Bacon: Cook bacon either on the stovetop, or in the oven. Or, do it the cheat way: simply purchase a package of precooked bacon and you get this done so much faster!
To bake bacon, line sheet pan with aluminum foil. Line bacon on without overlapping and bake for 14-18 minutes at 400℉. Voila! Easy peasy bacon for your Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders.
Scrambled Eggs: Scramble raw eggs in a large bowl, grease skillet and bring it to a medium heat. Make sure oil is hot before adding scrambled eggs to skillet. Let eggs cook for at least 10-15 seconds, then gently stir eggs so that it cooks completely.
For the very first few stirs, I like to stir from the outsides into the center of the pan because the eggs on the outsides cooks more quickly than the center.
Pro tip: remove scrambled eggs from skillet while they are still moist because it will be cooked a little more in the oven. If scrambled eggs are fully dry, they will be overcooked after baked.
Step 2: Assemble Breakfast Sliders
Once the fillings are done, bring the bottom of the Hawaiian rolls to a large half sheet pan or a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish.
Layer on the filling ingredients, starting with scrambled eggs, slices of cheese and bacon, then add the top slider.
Step 3: Garlic Butter Compound
Bring together softened butter, minced garlic and a pinch of salt to make the garlic butter compound.
Brush the tops of the Hawaiian roll breakfast sliders with garlic butter.
The garlic butter is designed to flavor the breakfast sliders and to also make the top part golden brown and slightly crispy.
Step 4: Bake
Send Hawaiian roll breakfast sliders to bake in the oven at 350℉, and in just 10 minutes in the oven, the ingredients would have come together as the cheese melts, and your breakfast sliders are DONE!
Use a serrated knife to gently cut along the crease of each individual Hawaiian sweet roll, making them into individual slider sandwiches.
You can expect your Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders to be soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet with a buttery top, and loaded with fluffy scramble eggs, rich and crispy bacon, and melty cheese.
Expect to experience GREATNESS when you take that first bite…
They are the dreamiest little breakfast bites you will ever have, and ones I have been making again and again!
Variations
There are so many ways you can jazz up your breakfast sliders. These are other yummy ingredients that goes great with it:
- Meat filling: try breakfast sausage, Canadian bacon, ham, or a different type of bacon (turkey bacon). Meat must be cooked before assembling.
- Adding vegetables: add spinach and bell peppers
- Toppings: instead of a garlic butter compound, try Everrying Bagel seasoning or your favorite dried herbs. Or just simply brush it with butter!
- Sauces: add hot sauce or your favorite sauce into the filling for even more flavor!
Make Ahead Instructions
Hawaiian roll breakfast sliders is a fantastic recipe to make ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions
