What's your favorite meal of the day? For me, it's always been breakfast!!! I love it all - cinnamon rolls, cheesy omelets, crispy bacon, fresh fruit, and the list goes on and on. I mean what other meal can you have something as sweet as pancakes covered in syrup and consider it a meal?!
Although I tend to choose sweet over savory, my husband Zach is the complete opposite. When breakfast rolls around, he's all about the eggs, hash browns, sausage, bacon, etc. Therefore, it was no surprise to me when Zach took a bite of these Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders and said "Kels, this is my new #1 favorite recipe on the blog!"
You know those ham and cheese sliders you can make with Hawaiian rolls? My family just loves those....I mean, what's not to love?! Therefore when breakfast rolled around one morning and I had some Hawaiian Rolls on the counter top, I thought 'why not do a breakfast version?!'
What do I need to make Hawaiian Roll Breakfast Sliders?
- Hawaiian Rolls - Surprise, surprise! 😉 These rolls are perfect for breakfast sliders because they're super soft and slightly sweet which balances out the rest of the savory flavors in the sandwich.
- Cream Cheese - I like to use the onion and chive cream cheese, but plain (or â…“ less fat) cream cheese would work just as well.
- Breakfast Sausage - There are a couple options here. I used ground breakfast sausage as you can see in the photo. However, you could save a step and use precooked breakfast sausage patties or sliced ham.
- Red Bell Pepper - Red pepper gives these sliders some color and extra flavor. You could certainly skip these in the recipe if you've got picky kiddos!
- Eggs - Who doesn't love eggs with their breakfast?! They keep these sliders super moist and add a little extra protein!
- Cheese - Use whatever kind of cheese you like (cheddar, muenster, pepperjack, etc). The cheese makes these melty sandwiches irresistible!
- Butter - Melted butter is the base of the glaze that will go over the rolls before hitting the oven. And it makes these SOOOO GOOD!
Can I make these sliders ahead of time?
Yes and no. Yes, you can prep most of it ahead of time, but I wouldn't recommend putting them together until you're ready to bake them. Here's what I'd recommend...
- Slice the Hawaiian Rolls and place them into a greased pan; cover with plastic wrap.
- Cook the sausage and peppers; place in a bowl and refrigerate.
- Cook the scrambled eggs; place in a bowl and refrigerate.
- Place the butter and spices into a small microwave safe bowl, cover and refrigerate.
- Then, in the morning, spread the cream cheese, top with sausage/peppers, eggs, cheese, and the top of the bun. Then melt the butter and brush over-top and bake!
What are some of my other favorite breakfast recipes?
Cottage Cheese Pancakes - Yes, you read that correctly, cottage cheese pancakes!! You'd never know there was cottage cheese in them, but it gives these fluffy pancakes extra protein!
Sausage and Sweet Potato Hash - I love this one, because it's full of veggies, savory sausage and eggs, making it the perfect filling (and healthy!) breakfast!
Pumpkin Spice Baked French Toast - How good does this sound?! It's the ultimate fall breakfast option!!!

Very easy and tasty ! I used veggie cream cheese for extra flavor 🌼
LUCI MARRFOGLIA says
For the cream cheese, do you use regular cream cheese that has been softened at room temperature, or the whipped cream cheese spread?

Hi Luci! I used the block cream cheese (softened to room temperature), but I think the whipped cream cheese spread would work just fine, too! 🙂 -Kelsey
