What does CRACK mean?
If a recipe has “crack” in the title it means that the recipe has cheddar, bacon, and ranch in the ingredients. It all started with my Crack Dip way back in 2007. I made the dip for a Titans football game. Everyone went crazy over it. We couldn’t stop eating it and said it was like crack. The name stuck.
According to the dictionary, the definition of crack is “of superior excellence or ability”. We think the flavor combination of cheddar, bacon, and ranch fits this definition! This recipe is most definitely of superior excellence!
How to Make Crack Breakfast Sliders
These breakfast sandwiches are super easy to make with only a few simple ingredients. In a large skillet, cook bacon slices over medium-high heat until crispy. Drain excess grease on paper towels. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Season with salt and black pepper. Scramble eggs in the skillet over medium heat and set aside.
Using a serrated knife, split a package of Hawaiian rolls in half. Place the bottom buns in a baking dish. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the bottom of the rolls. Top with scrambled eggs. Add a layer of cooked bacon. Top bacon with the remaining cheese. Place top buns on top of the cheese.
In a small bowl, melt butter. Stir in ranch dressing mix. Brush or pour ranch butter over the tops of the rolls and bake in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted and the rolls are golden brown.

Could these be frozen?
yes
Family LOVED these sliders!! So easy & customizable…looking forward to these being an easy staple in my recipe list…Thanks!
These were the first things to go Christmas morning! The kids loved them. And so easy to make. Will definitely make them again. Perhaps for annual Mother’s Day brunch!!
Could you prep this the night before and refrigerate overnight, then put just heat it in the oven in the morning?
yes
Absolute banger of a recipe! My son gobbled up half of these yesterday morning before a swim meet and chomped down the rest this morning. Super simple recipe, great flavor. So glad I came across this!!
I love slider recipes and wonder why I never thought to do breakfast. Here’s a tip: I cut the buns in half as you show and then I cut them apart into individual tops and bottoms. Now assemble the bottoms in the pan, sides touching (as if you never cut them apart, lol) assemble per recipe and top. It makes them so much easier to serve and the butter gets down into the cracks as a bonus.
These were amazing. To use ingredients I had on hand, I used American cheese slices and Canadian bacon. These will now be my go to recipe for family gatherings!
Y’all never disappoint with the recipes! My daughter and I made these this morning and OMG SO GOOD!!! Will 100% be making again 😊😊 Super easy, and I love that I had all of the ingredients on hand already! Thank you for this quick and easy breakfast!
