Breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner – these Bagel Breakfast Sliders are the recipe you need in your life. The simplicity of these delicious – and filling – sliders is what makes it the perfect dish for any meal of the day, any day of the week. By combining some simple ingredients, you can create a beautiful slider that everyone is going to be falling head over heels for.
For these sliders, you need will need some mini bagels. Mini bagels are typically 2-3 inches in diameter. There are several popular varieties available. I used plain bagels and added my own everything seasoning on top. If you can find mini everything bagels, you can omit that step if you like. If you are unable to find mini bagels, I would probably cut regular sized bagels in half. I think using full sized bagels might be a bit much, but it could work as well.
I used bacon and cheddar for these sliders but you could change things up and use some patty sausage or different cheeses – colby jack, gouda, provolone or swiss cheeses would all be tasty in here. You could also use bacon WITH sausage – just be cautious layering things up too tall, you want to be able to take a “best bite” of all the flavors at once.
Last time I made this, I served it with some simple air fried hash brown patty. Do not let the fact that these are technically “sliders”, trick you into thinking that you need three or four of these. Don’t get me wrong – you will want to eat that many, but you probably won’t be able to! If you wanted to lighten things up some, a nice side of fresh fruit would be very good along side these delightful sandwiches.

I have everything available to give these a try. They look so good.
We might have to make this for our Christmas breakfast this year! I bet they’ll be a huge hit with the whole family. Pinned.
That’s a great idea!
Estelle, food when cooked with love really does show!! My kids are grown and on their own and we have one grandson now, but it was fun to have them all here last year just before Christmas. We had just a few meals at home but it was fun having everyone home ~ I miss that!!! Anyway, I was really happy to feature your bagel breakfast as part of last week’s Share Your Style #364 for you. YUM!!! And we just happen to have cooked bacon… Mr. Ethereal was cooking on his new BBQ/smoker on Sunday and he cooked up some bacon for the week and to freeze. Perfect for breakfasts and for this!!!
Happy fall and happy cooking,
Barb 🙂
