How to Make Bagel Breakfast Sliders
- Prepare the bagels: Preheat oven to 350°F. Slice all mini bagels in half horizontally and arrange bottom halves in a 9×13 baking dish.
- Make the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Cook the eggs: Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in egg mixture and cook, gently stirring occasionally, until just set but still slightly moist, about 3-4 minutes.
- Assemble the sliders: Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the bagel bottoms. Sprinkle with crumbled bacon and shredded cheese. Place the bagel tops over the filling.
- Prepare the topping: In a small bowl, mix softened butter with maple syrup and garlic powder. Brush this mixture over the bagel tops.
- Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes until cheese is melted and tops are golden.
- Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. Sprinkle with chopped chives if desired.
Variations of Bagel Breakfast Sliders
- Vegetarian Option: Skip the bacon and add sautéed spinach, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
- Southwest Style: Add diced green chilies, pepper jack cheese, and a sprinkle of taco seasoning to the eggs.
- Italian Inspired: Use provolone cheese and add a layer of thinly sliced prosciutto and fresh basil.
- Smoked Salmon Deluxe: Replace bacon with smoked salmon and add cream cheese and capers.
- Breakfast Burger: Add a thin sausage patty between the eggs and cheese.
Serving Bagel Breakfast Sliders
These sliders are best served warm, straight from the oven. For a complete breakfast spread, pair them with fresh fruit salad, yogurt parfaits, or hash browns. They’re perfect for weekend brunches, holiday breakfasts, or game day mornings.
To make ahead, prepare the sliders up to the baking step, cover tightly, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, simply bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I store leftover breakfast sliders?
Store cooled sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Wrap individually in plastic wrap for easy grab-and-go breakfasts.
Can I freeze these breakfast sliders?
Absolutely! Wrap each cooled slider individually in plastic wrap, then place in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat from frozen in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes.
What’s the best way to reheat the sliders?
For the best texture, reheat in a 325°F oven for 10 minutes until warmed through. Microwave for 30-45 seconds if you’re in a hurry, though the bagels won’t be as crisp.
Can I make these with regular-sized bagels?
Yes! Use 6 regular bagels instead of mini ones, and cut each assembled sandwich into quarters after baking for slider-sized portions.
What can I substitute for bacon?
Ham, turkey sausage, or vegetarian bacon alternatives work well. For a meat-free option, try avocado slices or roasted vegetables.
