Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it warms up, grab your favorite 9×13 baking dish and give it a light greasing with some non-stick spray or a bit of butter to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Rolls
Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully slice through the Hawaiian rolls horizontally. Ensure you keep the top half intact—this will be crucial for holding everything together later!
Step 3: Whisk the Eggs
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs until well mixed. You want them to be nice and fluffy! Then, pour this mixture into a greased skillet.
Step 4: Scramble the Eggs
Cook the eggs over medium-high heat, stirring gently. Scramble them until just cooked; avoid overcooking since they'll finish baking in the oven.
Step 5: Layer the Ingredients
Start by laying down a generous layer of deli ham over the bottom half of the rolls. Then, add the soft scrambled eggs evenly on top of the ham. Follow this with slices of cheddar cheese—don’t be shy! Finally, place the top half of the buns back on.
Step 6: Make the Topping
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the melted butter and maple syrup. Microwave for about 30 seconds until it’s bubbling. Spoon this luscious mixture over the assembled rolls, ensuring even coverage.
Step 7: Bake
Cover your dish with aluminum foil. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. After that, remove the foil, and bake for an additional 10 minutes to get a lovely golden crust.
Step 8: Serve and Enjoy
Once baked, let it cool for a few moments, then slice into portions. Serve immediately, and watch as everyone dives into these tasty rolls!
