Breakfast Sliders
1 pkg Hawaiian rolls
12 eggs
Chopped ham, bacon bits and/or cooked sausage
Cheese slices
1/2 cup melted butter
Preheat oven to 350. Cut the rolls in half horizontally. Place bottoms in a greased 9×13 pan. Scramble the eggs and pour over rolls. Sprinkle meats over eggs. Place sliced cheese over meats and top with roll tops. Spread melted butter over tops. Bake for 20 minutes.

On the edge of the triangle, use an egg wash to seal the turnovers and then press closed with a fork. Bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Frost with a glaze of 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla and enough hot water to make a drizzle.
