Maple Sausage Sliders are a quick and easy appetizer combining sweet maple glaze with savory sausage patties, melted sharp cheddar, and buttery toasted mini buns. Perfect for parties, game days, or a tasty snack, these bite-sized sliders offer a delicious balance of flavors and customizable options to suit any palate.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Breakfast sausage patties (pork or turkey) – about 12 small patties
  • Mini slider buns – 12
  • Pure maple syrup – 1/4 cup
  • Butter – 2 tablespoons (for toasting buns)
  • Yellow mustard – 2 tablespoons
  • Sharp cheddar cheese slices – 12 slices

Optional Toppings

  • Pickles – as desired
  • Caramelized onions – as desired

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage Patties: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the breakfast sausage patties until browned and fully cooked, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Maple Glaze: In the same skillet, pour in the maple syrup and warm gently, scraping up any browned bits from the sausage. Let the syrup reduce slightly until sticky enough to coat the patties.
  3. Toast the Slider Buns: Butter the insides of the slider buns and toast them in a clean pan or on a griddle over medium heat until golden brown and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side.
  4. Assemble the Sliders: Place a sausage patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Drizzle with the warm maple glaze, add a slice of sharp cheddar cheese, and spread yellow mustard on the top bun. Add optional pickles or caramelized onions if desired, then sandwich the buns together.
  5. Serve Warm: Arrange the assembled sliders on a platter and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the sausage to keep it juicy.
  • Use real pure maple syrup for richer flavor.
  • Butter the buns generously to achieve a perfect golden crust.
  • Cover the pan briefly after adding cheese to melt it perfectly.
  • Customize toppings to complement the sweet and savory profile, such as mustard or pickles.
