Steps to Make Easy and Perfect Oven-Cooked Bacon
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Depending on how much bacon you're cooking, line one or two half-sheet pans completely with extra-wide, heavy-duty, non-stick aluminum foil. (You will need two pans if you're cooking a pound of bacon.) Line another half-sheet pan with a double layer of paper towels and set aside. Place the bacon slices in a single layer. Then bake one pan at a time for 15 minutes in the preheated oven.
- After 15 minutes, carefully remove the pan from the oven and use a pair of tongs to turn the bacon slices over. Return the pan to the oven and cook for 5 to 10 more minutes, depending on how crispy you want your bacon.
- Remove the pan from the oven and transfer the cooked bacon slices to a paper towel-lined sheet pan. Set the bacon aside until ready to use. Allow the bacon grease on the sheet pans to solidify, then throw the foil away for ease of clean-up. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
Steps to Make Susan's Perfect Scrambled Eggs
- Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, add freshly ground black pepper, and then whisk together.
- Stir in ½ cup cold cubed unsalted butter.
- Place a large non-stick skillet on your stove and pour the egg mixture into the cold skillet.
- Turn the heat to medium and stir the mixture continuously with a silicone spatula to incorporate the butter as it melts into the eggs. Once the butter has almost completely melted, the eggs will begin to scramble.
- Keep stirring the eggs continuously to scramble them. When the eggs are almost scrambled but remain slightly liquid, add the Kosher salt.
- Continue stirring the eggs until no more liquid remains. Reduce the temperature to low to keep the eggs warm until ready to use.
Steps to Build Bacon Egg and Cheese Sliders
- Line a half-sheet pan with extra-wide, heavy-duty, non-stick aluminum foil or parchment paper. Open the slider buns and place all of them on the prepared pan. Melt ½ cup unsalted butter in the microwave and brush the butter over the insides of the buns. Toast in a 350°F oven for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and place on a wire cooling rack. Remove the tops of the slider buns from the pan and set aside. Turn the bottoms of the buns over and brush the melted butter over them, then turn them back over.
- Sprinkle four ounces of freshly shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese over the bottom buns.
- Evenly distribute the warm scrambled eggs over the shredded cheese.
- Break the cooked bacon slices in half and place two pieces on top of the eggs on each slider.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the bacon slices.
- Place the tops of the slider buns on top of the cheese to create the sandwiches. Then, brush the tops of the buns with melted butter. Bake in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and serve warm.

Frequently Asked Questions
This helps to ensure even cooking by allowing the butter to melt gradually alongside the eggs in the pan, preventing the eggs from setting too quickly on the outside while remaining uncooked in the middle, resulting in a more tender and creamy texture.
It allows the eggs to cook evenly and slowly, preventing the protein from setting too quickly, resulting in a softer, more tender texture with smaller, delicate curds, rather than a rubbery or overcooked egg if you were to start with a hot pan.
Adding salt to the eggs before you begin scrambling them can potentially draw out too much moisture, leading to tough scrambled eggs. That's why it's best to add the salt when you are almost finished scrambling.
You can, but I don't recommend it. Pepperidge Farm slider buns tend to be slightly less sweet, have a softer texture, and are specifically designed for smaller sliders. Also, they are pre-cut, whereas with the King's Hawaiian rolls, you will need to slice them in half.
