These Tater Tot Sausage Breakfast Casserole easy sheet pan sliders combine savory meat, melted cheese, and a flavorful butter topping for a beginner-friendly, crowd-pleasing meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls
- 12 slices of deli ham or pre-cooked lemon herb chicken
- 6–8 slices of Swiss cheese (or cheddar, provolone, or mozzarella)
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional, for chicken variation)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs like parsley or thyme (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- Use a serrated knife to slice the buns horizontally, keeping them connected.
- Place the bottom half of the buns on the baking sheet and layer evenly with ham or chicken.
- Top with cheese slices, covering the meat fully, then place the top buns over the cheese.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter with Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and poppy seeds. Add lemon zest and herbs if using chicken.
- Brush or pour the butter mixture evenly over the top of the buns.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 5–10 minutes until tops are golden and cheese is melted.
- Let rest for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- To avoid soggy buns, place dry ingredients like meat on the bottom layer first.
- Prepare sliders ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 12 hours before baking.
- Reheat leftovers at 300°F to maintain crispiness.
- No brush? Use the back of a spoon to spread butter mixture.
