Ingredients

• 6 small soft brioche slider buns (connected slab)
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon butter (for eggs)
• 4 slices cooked bacon, chopped
• 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 6 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon butter.
2. Whisk eggs with milk, season with salt and pepper, then pour into the skillet; scramble until just set, then remove from heat.
3. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over low heat, add minced garlic, and sauté 1 minute until fragrant; stir in chopped chives and set aside.
4. Slice the brioche slider buns horizontally, keeping the slab intact, and lightly toast the cut sides in the same skillet for 1‑2 minutes until golden.
5. Spread a thin layer of the garlic‑chive butter on each toasted bun half.
6. Assemble each slider: bottom bun, a spoonful of scrambled egg, a pinch of chopped bacon, a sprinkle of cheddar, then top bun; serve warm.

Tips for Success

• Use room‑temperature eggs for fluffier scrambled eggs.
• Do not over‑cook the scrambled eggs; they should remain soft to meld with the cheese.
• Toast the buns just until lightly browned to keep them soft inside while adding a slight crunch.
• If the garlic butter browns too quickly, lower the heat to prevent bitterness.
• Add the cheddar while the eggs are still hot so it melts gently.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat sliders in a 350°F oven for 5‑7 minutes or microwave briefly to warm without drying out.

Notes

For extra fluffiness, whisk eggs with a pinch of baking powder. Serve immediately for the best texture.
