Bacon Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sliders

Breakfast

The most important meal of the day, right? At least that’s how the saying goes. I love breakfast food! In fact, if I could choose to go out for any meal, it would be breakfast, because there are so many different things you can have in the morning! But with these Bacon Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sliders, you don’t have to go anywhere! You can make yourself a gourmet breakfast right at home, with stuff you probably already have in your pantry and fridge!

This is a healthier alternative to sugary cereals or fattening pastries (though there’s nothing wrong with those). But if you’re looking for a protein-packed, delicious, nutritious morning meal, these sliders are for you!

Bacon Egg and Cheese

Bacon, egg, and cheese is the classic breakfast combination. But perhaps you like sausage– or no meat at all. The great thing about recipes like this is you can customize them to your personal taste!

But I like bacon, egg, and cheese, and so anything with all three is a winner in my book.

The classic combo is elevated by the glorious taste of Chef Shamy Parmesan Basil Garlic Butter. It adds a great flavor to offset the saltiness of the bacon, the fluffy eggs, and the sharp cheddar cheese.

Chef Shamy Garlic Butter would taste good on a flip flop, is all I’m saying.

Some Substitutions

We used mini bagels for our breakfast sliders. But if you prefer, you can use biscuits, or English muffins– whatever floats your boat. The mini bagels were perfect, and adding the garlic butter ensures that they don’t dry out in the oven.

Also, if cheddar’s not your thing, or you have a different cheese in your fridge, experiment! How about some pepperjack? Or Swiss? I truly believe there are no bad choices when it comes to cheese.

Enjoy!
