Scramble the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl. Use a fork or whisk to beat the eggs thoroughly. This step ensures a consistent texture. Add a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper to the beaten eggs. Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat. Allow it to warm up, and add a small amount of butter or oil for flavor and to prevent sticking. Pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Allow them to set for a moment, then gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon. Stirring frequently ensures even cooking. Adjust the heat as needed. Lower heat prevents overcooking and yields creamier eggs. When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, remove the pan from the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking the eggs. Set aside.
Prepare the Ham: Warm the leftover ham slices in the same pan or microwave until heated through. This recipe also works well with Bacon if there's no left over Christmas Ham.
Assemble Sliders: Slice the slider buns in half. Place a layer of scrambled eggs on the bottom half, followed by a slice of ham and then a slice of cheese.
Melt the Cheese: Pop the sliders into a warm oven for a few minutes until the cheese melts and binds the layers together.
Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and cover with the top half of the slider bun. Serve warm.
Conclusion
These sliders are a testament to the magic of turning leftovers into something extraordinary. A perfect breakfast or brunch option during the festive season, they marry the rich flavor of ham with the creamy goodness of scrambled eggs. Feel free to use bacon if there's no ham left over from your Christmas Day. Also nice with a slice of lettuce on each slider to add that crisp freshness and a pop of colour.

Tips
- For creamier eggs, add a splash of milk or cream while beating.
- Experiment with additional ingredients like cheese, herbs, or diced vegetables for extra flavor.
- Avoid overcooking by removing the eggs from the heat while they are still slightly soft. They will continue to cook after being plated.
FAQs
Can I use other types of cheese?
- Absolutely! Cheddar, Swiss, or even a spicy pepper jack would work wonders.
What ifI don't have slider buns?
- No worries! Regular-sized buns or even slices of bread can be substituted.
Can I make these ahead of time?
- While best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the components ahead and assemble just before serving for a quick breakfast. Once the Ham has been reheated it should be eaten immediately.
