Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Dairy:
- 8 large eggs
- 455 g bacon
- 200 g shredded cheddar cheese
- 60 ml heavy cream
- 15 g butter
- 15 g butter
Bread:
- 1 package (340 g) Hawaiian rolls
Seasoning and Extras:
- 8 g ranch dressing mix
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Whisk 8 large eggs, ¼ cup heavy cream, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl until fully blended.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour egg mixture into the pan and gently scramble until barely set.
- Remove eggs from heat and transfer to a separate plate.
- Cook 1 pound bacon in the same skillet over medium-high heat until crisp and golden.
- Transfer bacon to paper towels and slice each strip into four smaller pieces.
- Slice the entire package of Hawaiian rolls horizontally, keeping the rolls connected.
- Place bottom halves of rolls in the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the roll bases.
- Layer the scrambled eggs over the cheese, spreading them carefully.
- Distribute bacon pieces across the egg layer.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese over the bacon.
- Place roll tops back on the assembled dish.
- Mix 1 tablespoon melted butter with ranch dressing mix in a small bowl.
- Brush butter mixture generously over the roll tops.
- Bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes until cheese melts and rolls are heated through.
Notes
- Toast Hawaiian rolls slightly to enhance their buttery sweetness and prevent sogginess during baking.
- Use thick-cut bacon for maximum crunch and robust flavor that holds up well in the slider.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes after baking so cheese sets and flavors meld together before serving.
- For gluten-free adaptation, swap Hawaiian rolls with gluten-free dinner rolls or cauliflower-based bread alternative.
