Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1 medium apple (preferably a sweet variety like Fuji or Honeycrisp), diced

1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

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

4 whole grain slider buns

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)

Fresh arugula or spinach (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by dicing the apple into small cubes and set aside. If using sausage, cook it in a skillet over medium heat until browned, then crumble and drain on paper towels.

    Whisk the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack open the eggs. Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and the ground cinnamon to the bowl. Whisk the mixture until fully combined.

      Cook the Egg Mixture: In a medium non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and gently stir with a spatula. As the eggs begin to set, add the diced apples and cooked sausage (if using). Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set and fluffy. Remove from heat.

        Assemble the Sliders: Lower the heat to the skillet and lightly toast the slider buns for a minute or two, cut side down. This will give them a nice warmth and texture. Once they're toasted, remove them from the skillet.

          Build the Sliders: On the bottom half of each slider bun, layer a generous scoop of the egg and apple mixture. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top and drizzle with maple syrup for added sweetness (if desired). Add a handful of fresh arugula or spinach for a touch of freshness, then place the top half of the bun over everything.

            Serve: Arrange the mini breakfast sliders on a serving platter. They’re best enjoyed warm, but they can be held at room temperature for a short time, making them great for brunch gatherings or meal prep!
