Expert Tips and Tricks

• Customize your sliders by adding ingredients like cooked bacon, sausage, or veggies like bell peppers and onions.
• For an extra kick of flavor, try using different types of cheese such as pepper jack or Swiss.
• Don’t skip the step of letting the eggs set in one flat piece—it helps keep the sliders together and prevents the filling from falling out.

Freezing Instructions

• Allow the Breakfast Sliders to cool completely after baking.
• Once cooled, individually wrap each slider tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn.
• Place the wrapped sliders in a single layer on a baking sheet and transfer to the freezer.
• Once the sliders are frozen solid, transfer them to a freezer-safe container or resealable plastic bag.
• Label the container or bag with the date and contents for easy identification.
• Store the sliders in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Reheating Instructions

• When ready to enjoy, remove the desired number of sliders from the freezer and unwrap them.
• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Place the unwrapped sliders on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
• Cover the sliders loosely with foil to prevent the tops from over-browning.
• Bake the sliders in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through.
• For a crispier texture, remove the foil cover during the last 5 minutes of baking.
• Once heated through, serve the sliders hot and enjoy!
