Cheesy Mexican Breakfast Sliders

Cheesy Mexican Breakfast Sliders

Cheese. Chorizo. Eggs. Hawaiian buns.

I never knew those four humble ingredients could yield the most melt-in-your-mouth, ridiculously delicious breakfast concoction I’ve had in months.

But they did, and now I’m in some serious trouble, since I have a half dozen left just staring at me every time I open the fridge…

Cheesy Mexican Breakfast Sliders

These guys are kind of like a breakfast burrito meets chopped cheeseburger sliders meets grilled cheese, which is a good thing, a very good thing. A very good thing that also happens to be a very bad thing, as I’m sure you can imagine by the ingredient list. They’re not exactly low in fat and calories, but what they lack in nutritional benefits, they make up for in flavor ten fold. Plus, we had these on the weekend, and calories don’t count Friday through Sunday, right?

RIGHT?

Cheesy Mexican Breakfast Sliders

The inspiration for these actually came from Kevin’s good buddy, Andy, who hosts the guys’ annual fantasy football draft, or is it the baseball draft? Or baseball draft prep? I can’t keep track of all these fake sport preparations…Whatever the event is, Andy’s Mom usually makes biscuits and gravy, but for some reason his Mom had prior obligations and couldn’t fulfill her B&G duties, so Andy threw together some breakfast sandwiches for the dudes with eggs, sausage (I think??), cheese and Haiwaiin buns. I thought the idea was brilliant, and stole it immediately, thank you Andy!

So for my version, I layered American cheese with super soft spicy scrambled eggs, Mexican chorizo (not to be confused with Spanish chorizo), another layer of American cheese, and stuffed the whole ensemble in a package of whole-wheat hawaiian buns. The sammies get popped into a 350 degree oven until the cheese is melted, and they’re ready to be devoured.

    Do you think this would freeze well? I’ve been trying to make breakfast in advance so mornings aren’t quite as crazy. It is helpful to have some frozen sandwiches, burritos or bowls in there to eat

      Yes! I do think they would freeze well. I would suggest not baking them ahead of time though. Cool all the ingredients, then put the cheese on, followed by the top bun, then freeze individually. Just pull them out as needed and either bake, or microwave them in 15 second increments until hot!

    I had some leftover hawaiiin rolls and chorizo from another recipe, so I gave this a go for Christmas brunch. They were awesome. Even my midwestern relatives loved the chorizo flavors, which weren’t too spicy. I did omit the jalapeƱos and cooked the eggs minus the milk but with a little more butter, and all was amazing. Will definitely do this again.
