Cheesy BBQ Breakfast Sliders are the epic combination of Head Country Bar-B-Q Hickory Smoke Sauce, breakfast sausage, crispy bacon, cheese, and a gooey runny yolk egg. It’s a mini handheld breakfast plate sandwiched in a toasted roll!

This weekend I get to celebrate my very first Mother’s Day!

Well we sort of celebrated last year because we had just found out I was pregnant! However, this year feels a bit more real than being a couple months pregnant LOL.

Mother’s Day always makes me think of one thing… brunch.

I’m sure you’ve heard (well, more like read?) me mention that brunch is a big thing on my mom’s side of the family. We used to have brunch every Sunday with whatever family wanted to come, but on holidays like Mother’s Day, everyone showed up.

We’d have a giant table filled to the max with all the breakfast favorites from bacon to sausage to eggs and more.

This year, we are having a little brunch gathering at our home with our parents (yay for the vaccine am I right?!), and I decided I would whip up something that I could actually make for everyone without putting too much pressure on myself.

Enter these cheesy bbq breakfast sliders!

These mini breakfast sandwiches have everything that you want from brunch – the runny egg, bacon, sausage, and even melty cheese.

More importantly, it gets a little twist of flavor from some BBQ sauce.

Not just any BBQ sauce though… Head Country Bar-B-Q! You all know that this brand of sauce is always in my kitchen and pantry. There are only a few brands that I am truly passionate about, and Head Country is one of them. It’s two-fold really – the flavor (the most important) is outstanding and there’s actually variety across their line of sauces. Next is, to be frank, the price.

You really can’t beat it and I appreciate the fact that they can make some so high-quality be so reasonable!

For these sliders, I think that Head Country Bar-B-Q Hickory Smoke BBQ Sauce is the best one of the bunch to use. It gives you some smoky flavor along with the tang of the sauce! You’ll be licking it off your fingers if you get a little messy 😉

we’re making yummy cheesy bbq breakfast sliders!

Toast Buns

Set broiler to High, then place bun halves on a baking sheet. Brush the roll halves with melted butter, then place under the broiler and toast until browned. This will take about 1 to 2 minutes, but be sure to keep an eye on them so they don’t burn!

Bake Eggs

Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray and each of the large eggs into each well. Season with salt and pepper. Bake at 350˚F for 9 to 10 minutes. The whites should be set but the yolk should still be runny.

Melt Cheese

Top the bottom halves of the buns with bacon, then sausage, and layer the tops with some cheese slices. Bake in the oven in a baking dish alongside the eggs for about 3 to 4 minutes, until the cheese is melted.

Assemble

To assemble, top each slider with an egg. Spread 1 Tbsp Head Country Bar-B-Q Hickory Smoke Sauce on each roll top half and place on top. Serve.

can I make these ahead of time?

If you want to get ahead on some of the prep work, you can cook the bacon and sausage ahead of time in a skillet over medium-low heat. Since these sliders come together in just 20 minutes, that’s the only prep work to be done (and it can be done the day before if you like!).

variations

make different eggs! You can make scrambled eggs instead of the runny eggs if you don’t like a runny yolk.

drizzle with maple syrup. Drizzle the delicious breakfast sliders with maple syrup for a sweet element to elevate the savory sandwiches.

make them ahead of time. You can make these sandwiches ahead of time and store them in the freezer for a breakfast fix any day of the week. Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap, then place in an airtight container. Store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat them in the microwave when ready to enjoy!

switch things up. You can use Hawaiian rolls instead of regular rolls. Change up the cheddar cheese for provolone or swiss cheese. Use ham instead of bacon. Remove the sausage patties and bacon to make it vegetarian. Top with wilted spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for a fun new flavor!
