Ingredients

Scale

Sliders:

  • 1 package Original Hawaiian Sweet 12 Pack Dinner Rolls
  • ¼ cup dried onions
  • 5 Tbsp water
  • 8 ounces lean unseasoned ground pork
  • 1/8 tsp rubbed sage
  • 1/4 tsp thyme ((dried or ground))
  • 1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 8 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 4 slices swiss cheese*

Topping:

  • 1.5 Tbsp butter ((melted))
  • 1.5 Tbsp pure maple syrup**

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the dried onion with the water and set aside.
  3. Combine the ground pork, sage, thyme, black pepper, and crushed red pepper in large skillet over medium heat and cook until the meat is no longer pink. Remove the meat form the pan onto a plate lined with a paper towel.
  4. While the meat is cooking, whisk together the eggs and milk. Once you’ve removed the meat from the skillet, add the eggs and the onions to the pan and cook slowly over medium low heat. Continue to cook until the eggs are about half way cooked (7-10 minutes). I posted some pictures below this recipe to show what I mean by “half way cooked.”
  5. Add the meat back into the pan with the eggs. Continue to cook until the scrambled eggs are cooked to your desired consistency.
  6. Line a baking sheet with a large sheet of tin foil. (You will wrap the sliders in the tin foil, so make sure it is a long enough sheet to enclose them.) Cut the Hawaiian rolls open and place the bottom half of the rolls onto the tin foil.
  7. Evenly spread the egg mixture across the bottom half of the buns. Lay the slices of swiss cheese across the egg mixture and put the top of the rolls on top of the meat. I posted pictures of the assembly below the recipe for reference.
  8. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and maple syrup. Spread the mixture on top of the rolls. Close the tin foil over the rolls and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Remove the rolls from the oven and pull back the tin foil so that the tops of the rolls are exposed. Put the rolls back in the oven and bake for 5 more minutes, or until the tops have browned.
  9. Remove the sliders from the oven and enjoy!

Notes

NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION – Yield: 12 servings (1 slider per serving)

Sodium: 154.1 mg, Calories: 238.1, Total Fat: 12.4 g, Saturated Fat: 5.7 g, Cholesterol: 161.8 mg, Carbohydrates: 19.6 g, Fiber: 0.2 g, Sugar: 7.5 g, Protein: 12.4 g.

* To calculate nutritional information, I used a Swiss cheese with 40 mg sodium per slice.

** Check the sodium in your syrup. Real maple syrup is very low in sodium (approximately 5 mg sodium per ¼ cup serving). However, the popular corn syrup-based versions (like Mrs. Butterworth’s, Aunt Jemima, and Log Cabin) are very high in sodium, at 120-160 mg per ¼ cup serving.
