Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and scramble gently until just set. Remove from heat.
3. If using ground sausage, cook and crumble it in a skillet over medium heat. If using pre-cooked patties, warm them according to the package instructions and cut as needed to fit the slider buns.
4. Without separating them, slice the entire block of slider buns in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves in the prepared baking dish.
5. Layer the sausage over the buns, followed by the scrambled eggs and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. Add jalapeño slices if desired.
6. Place the top half of the buns over the filling. Brush the tops generously with melted butter and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning if using.
7. Cover with foil and bake for 12 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, until cheese is melted and tops are golden.
8. Slice into individual sliders and serve warm.
