FAQs
Can I use regular dinner rolls?
Yes, but Hawaiian rolls are recommended for their sweetness and soft texture. Any soft 12-count roll package works — just avoid crusty rolls.
Why are my eggs rubbery?
They were overcooked before baking. Pull the scrambled eggs off the heat when they still look slightly wet. They will finish cooking in the oven.
Can I make these without eggs?
Yes. Replace the egg layer with extra ham and cheese, or add sautéed vegetables. They become ham and cheese lunch sliders.
How do I keep the bottoms from getting soggy?
Do not over-butter the bottom of the dish, and make sure the eggs are not watery. Squeezing the eggs lightly in the pan before assembling helps.
Can I use different cheese?
Absolutely. Provolone, American, Havarti, or pepper jack all melt well. Use whatever your family likes.
How far ahead can I assemble these?
Up to 24 hours. Keep them covered in the fridge. Add the butter glaze right before baking for the crispiest tops.
