Ingredients
- 16 miniature frozen pancakes
- 8 sausage patties ({cooked through})
- 4 eggs
- 1 tbsp milk or cream
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare the miniature frozen pancakes according to the package directions. Once cooked, set aside.
- While the pancakes cook, prepare the sausage patties if they are not already cooked through, following their package instructions.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk or cream until smooth.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, gently scrambling with a spatula, until the eggs are softly set. Remove from heat.
- To assemble each slider, place one miniature pancake on a plate. Top with one sausage patty, a spoonful of scrambled eggs, and a second miniature pancake.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and the maple syrup together in a small saucepan or the microwave until warm and combined. Drizzle this maple butter over the assembled sliders before serving.
Variations
- Stack ‘Em High: For a more substantial meal, create double-decker sliders using three pancakes and two layers of fillings.
- Skewer Style: Spear each assembled slider with a toothpick or small skewer for a mess-free, party-friendly presentation.
- DIY Bar: Set out the pancakes, sausage, eggs, and warm syrup separately and let everyone build their own custom sliders.
- Cheesy Twist: Add a thin slice of your favorite cheese, like cheddar or American, on top of the warm sausage patty to let it melt slightly before assembling.
Tips for Success
- Keep cooked pancakes, sausage, and eggs warm in a low oven (200°F/95°C) while you finish preparing all components.
- Avoid overcooking the eggs. They should be soft and creamy, as they will continue to cook slightly from residual heat.
- If your sausage patties are larger than your pancakes, you can break them up slightly to fit before assembling.
- For crispier pancake edges, toast them in a toaster or a dry skillet for a minute after baking.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The easiest way to reheat is to assemble a slider and warm it in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, or in a toaster oven or air fryer until heated through.
FAQ
Can I use homemade pancakes instead of frozen?
Absolutely! Simply prepare your favorite pancake batter and cook tablespoon-sized portions to make your own miniature pancakes.
What if my sausage patties are raw?
Cook them thoroughly in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink in the center and browned on both sides before assembling.
Can I make these ahead of time?
You can pre-cook all the components and store them separately. Assemble and reheat just before serving for the best texture.
What’s the best way to serve these for a crowd?
Prepare a large batch of each component and keep them warm in serving dishes. Allow guests to assemble their own sliders as they eat.
I don’t have milk or cream for the eggs. Can I skip it?
Yes, you can whisk the eggs with a tiny splash of water or scramble them plain. The milk or cream just adds a touch more tenderness.
Can I bake the pancakes instead of using a skillet?
Yes, if your frozen pancake package has oven instructions, that’s a great hands-off method, especially for a larger batch.
