Father’s Day Breakfast Sliders
I think it’s nice to cook for your dad on Father’s Day, because running to a brunch usually results in an overcrowded and not very intimate experience. That being said, I wanted to stick with something unfussy and hearty – something that will keep you out of the kitchen and free to enjoy time with your dad. Sliders tend to be popular among guys, so I tried a spin on a classic slider and topped them with a cheesy, potato-filled double stacked omelette – a classic combination (especially with thick-cut bacon!). Of course, you know your father best, so you can adapt this by adding his favorite ingredient.
Ingredients:
5 eggs, beaten
2-3 Yukon Gold potatoes, sliced thinly
3 scallions, chopped (with some reserved for garnish)
Half of one small red onion, minced
1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
3 slices thick cut bacon, cut in half
3 slider buns
Cracked black pepper and salt
1 tablespoon each of butter and olive oil
Method:
- Sautee onions in olive oil and butter over medium heat until fragrant. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Add potatoes in a layer along the bottom – if your potatoes are cut thicker, you can cover the pan with a lid to steam them and speed up the cooking process.
- Add cheese and chopped scallions to eggs. After about 3 minutes or until potatoes are tender, top the potatoes and onions with egg mixture. Turn heat down to low and cover with a lid.
- Prepare the bacon. Cook in pan over medium heat or on a cooling rack in the oven set at 400 degrees.
- Assemble the sliders. Slide egg omelette out of pan onto a cutting board. Cut two small slices per bun (6 slices total) and place them on the slider roll. Top with two slices of bacon and serve immediately.
