Ham Egg & Cheese Breakfast Sliders

Ingredients

• 2 TBLS Olive Oil (or use cooking spray)
• 12 large Eggs
• 1.5 TSP Kosher Salt, or to taste
• 1/2 TSP freshly cracked Black Pepper, or to taste
• 12 Dinner Rolls or Slider Buns (such as King’s Hawaiian Rolls) – halved across the middle
• 1/4 cup Dijon Mustard (or honey dijon mustard)
• 1/2 TSP Italian Seasoning
• 24 thinly sliced cooked deli Maple Honey Ham
• 12 thin slices Swiss Cheese
• 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 TBLS Unsalted Butter – melted
• 1 TBLS Everything Bagel Seasoning (or white sesame seeds and a sprinkling of flaky sea salt)

Instructions

1. 1

   Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Lightly brush a 9×13-inch baking dish with ½ tablespoon olive oil (or spray with cooking spray).

2. 2

   Bake the eggs: Brush the remaining 1.5 tablespoons of oil in the cups of a 12-count muffin pan or spray well with cooking spray. Crack an egg into each of the muffin cups and season with kosher salt and pepper to taste. (Optional: Use a knife to pierce the yolks if you wish for them to be spread out more and not just in one area.) Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the eggs have reached your desired doneness (see notes*). Transfer to a wire cooling rack. Run a butter knife around the edges of each egg to loosen them from the pan, then set the pan aside until needed.

3. 3

   Assemble sliders: Slice the bread rolls in half (separating each roll only if you wish, but it is not necessary too). Place the bottom parts in the prepared baking dish. Spread the dijon mustard evenly on all the bottom bread halves. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning evenly on top, then top evenly with the honey ham, the baked eggs, and the Swiss cheese slices. Spread the mayonnaise on the inner side of the top halves of the dinner rolls, then place them on top to close the sliders.

4. 4

   Brush: Place the unsalted butter in a microwave safe bowl and heat on high for 15-20 seconds or until melted. Brush on top of the sliders and sprinkle evenly with the Everything Bagel Seasoning.

5. 5

   Bake for 8-12 minutes in the middle rack of the oven, until the tops of the sliders have browned slightly and the cheese has melted.

6. 6

   Serve: Transfer to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Slice and plate individual sliders, then serve immediately and enjoy!
