Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Warm a large skillet over medium heat. Form the ground turkey sausage into 12 patties, slightly larger than the size of one dinner roll. Add the sausage patties to the skillet and cook until completely cooked through.
Meanwhile, using a serrated knife, carefully cut the rolls in half lengthwise, without separating them. Place the bottom halves of the rolls into a 7×10-inch or 9×13-inch baking dish, and set the tops aside.
Scoop scrambled eggs onto the bottom rolls and top with pepper jack cheese. Place the cooked sausage patties on top of the cheese, followed by American cheese slices. Carefully place the top buns onto the sliders.
In a small bowl, combine melted butter and maple syrup. Brush the butter-syrup mixture generously over the tops of the rolls, letting the sauce drip down the sides and into the bottom buns. Use the entire amount of butter and syrup.
Bake the sliders for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted. Serve and enjoy!
