Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 68 sausage links or patties (pork preferred, or turkey/chicken/plant-based sausage as substitute)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 8 slider buns
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for toasting buns)

Optional Ingredients

  • Dijon mustard, to taste
  • Cheese slices (sharp cheddar or smoked gouda), 4-8 slices
  • Fresh greens (arugula, parsley, chives), as desired
  • Pickles, thinly sliced, as desired

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sausage: Cook the sausage links or patties in a skillet over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until fully cooked and browned. If using links, slice them into pieces that fit the slider buns.
  2. Glaze with Maple Syrup: Drizzle or brush the pure maple syrup over the sausages in the skillet. Turn gently to caramelize the syrup and create a sticky, sweet glaze.
  3. Toast the Slider Buns: Slice the slider buns and lightly butter the cut sides. Toast them in a hot skillet or oven until golden brown and crispy, adding warmth and richness.
  4. Assemble the Sliders: Place the maple-glazed sausage on each toasted bun. Add optional toppings such as cheese slices, Dijon mustard, fresh greens, or pickles to enhance flavor and texture.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the sliders warm for the best balance of sweet and savory flavors, perfect for gatherings or casual meals.

Notes

  • Choose quality sausage for better flavor and juiciness.
  • Don’t skip the maple glaze to achieve the signature sweet coating.
  • Toast buns until crisp but still soft inside to avoid sogginess.
  • Use a non-stick pan to caramelize maple syrup without burning it.
  • Prepare optional toppings ahead of time to streamline assembly.
