Ingredients
  

8 small slider buns (or mini brioche)

4 large eggs

1 small crisp apple, diced (Honeycrisp or Fuji recommended)

1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (optional)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon butter

2 tablespoons maple syrup (for drizzling)

Fresh arugula or spinach leaves (for topping)

Optional: A sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor

Instructions
 

Prep the Buns: Begin by slicing the slider buns in half horizontally. Lightly toast them in a skillet or toaster until they are golden brown. This not only adds an appealing texture but also helps prevent the sliders from becoming soggy.

    Cook the Eggs: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter has melted and is sizzling, pour in the egg mixture. Gently stir to scramble. When the eggs start to set (about halfway), fold in the diced apple and continue to cook until the eggs are fully set and the apple becomes tender, approximately 3-4 minutes. If using bacon, mix it in during the last minute of cooking to heat it through.

      Add Cheese: As soon as the eggs are cooked through, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Let it sit for a moment, allowing the residual heat to melt the cheese slightly.

        Assemble Sliders: Take the toasted bottom halves of the slider buns and place a generous spoonful of the egg and apple mixture on each. Then, add a handful of fresh arugula or spinach on top for a vibrant pop of color and a refreshing crunch.

          Drizzle with Maple Syrup: For a delightful touch of sweetness, drizzle some maple syrup over the egg and apple filling (to taste) before placing the top halves of the buns on to complete the sliders.

            Serve: Serve the mini breakfast sliders warm, accompanied by extra maple syrup on the side for those who enjoy a sweeter breakfast experience.
