Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1 medium apple (choose a sweet variety such as Fuji or Honeycrisp), diced

1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage (optional for added flavor)

4 whole grain slider buns

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional for a touch of sweetness)

Fresh arugula or spinach (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by dicing the apple into small cubes and set them aside. If you choose to include the sausage, cook it in a skillet over medium heat until it’s browned and fully cooked. Once done, crumble the sausage and place it on paper towels to absorb excess grease.

    Whisk the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add a pinch of salt, freshly ground pepper, and the ground cinnamon. Use a whisk to combine the ingredients thoroughly until they form a smooth mixture.

      Cook the Egg Mixture: Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Pour the whisked egg mixture into the skillet and gently stir with a spatula to scramble them. As the eggs begin to set, fold in the diced apples and crumbled sausage (if using). Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set and fluffy. Once cooked, remove from heat and set aside.

        Toast the Slider Buns: Reduce the heat in the skillet slightly and place the slider buns cut side down. Toast them for about a minute or two until they are lightly golden and warmed through. After toasting, remove them from the skillet and set aside.

          Assemble the Sliders: On the bottom half of each toasted slider bun, spoon a generous portion of the flavorful egg and apple mixture. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top, followed by a drizzle of maple syrup for a hint of sweetness (if desired). Add a handful of fresh arugula or spinach for a vibrant touch, then carefully place the top half of the bun over the filling.

            Serve: Arrange the mini breakfast sliders on a serving platter, showcasing their colorful layers. While they are best enjoyed warm, these sliders can be left at room temperature for a short time, making them perfect for brunch gatherings or meal prep!
