Directions

1. Prepare the sausage patties: Cook the sausage patties in a large skillet over medium heat, following package instructions or until fully cooked. Set them aside and keep warm.
2. Scramble the eggs: In a large bowl, whisk the 10 eggs and a pinch of salt until well-combined. In the same skillet used for the sausage, melt a bit of butter over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and scramble them, stirring occasionally, until they are cooked through and fluffy. Set the scrambled eggs aside.
3. Prepare the bagels: While the sausage and eggs are cooking, slice the mini everything bagels in half. Brush the cut sides of the bagels with the melted butter and toast them lightly in a separate pan or in a toaster.
4. Assemble the sliders: Lay 8 bottom halves of the toasted bagels on a flat surface. Place one sausage patty on each bagel half, followed by a portion of scrambled eggs, and then top with a slice of cheddar cheese. Add the top half of the bagel to complete each slider.
5. Serve: Serve the breakfast bagel sliders immediately while the cheese is still melty and the sliders are warm.
