Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

1 cup diced green chilies (can be fresh or canned)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup chopped green onions

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

12 slider buns (brioche recommended for a hint of sweetness)

2 tablespoons butter (for greasing the baking dish)

Avocado slices (optional, for serving)

Salsa (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is heating, take a 9x13 inch baking dish and grease it generously with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    Whisk the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 eggs and pour in the 1/2 cup of milk. Use a whisk to mix them together until the mixture is well combined and frothy—this should take about 1-2 minutes.

      Combine Ingredients: Add the diced green chilies, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper to the egg mixture. Stir everything together thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of all the delicious ingredients.

        Cook the Egg Mixture: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and pour the egg mixture into the pan. Gently stir the mixture as it cooks for about 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly creamy. Remove the skillet from heat—be careful not to overcook the eggs!

          Assemble the Sliders: Slice the slider buns in half (top and bottom). Arrange the bottom halves of the buns in your greased baking dish. Generously spoon the warm egg mixture over each bottom half, spreading it out evenly. Finally, place the top halves of the buns back on top to form sliders.

            Bake: Place your tray of assembled sliders in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the tops of the buns are lightly golden and the cheese is perfectly melted.

              Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. If desired, top each slider with fresh avocado slices for added creaminess, and serve with salsa on the side for an extra flavorful kick!

                Enjoy: Cut each slider in half to reveal the gooey melted cheese and savory egg filling. Serve warm and savor the delightful combination of flavors!
