Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

1 cup diced green chilies (fresh or canned)

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup chopped green onions (scallions)

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)

Sliced avocado (optional, for serving)

Salsa (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches) with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    Whisk the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack open the 6 eggs. Add the milk and whisk together vigorously until the mixture is well blended and slightly frothy.

      Combine Ingredients: Fold in the diced green chilies, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution of all ingredients throughout the egg mixture.

        Cook the Egg Mixture: Pour the combined egg mixture into a non-stick skillet set over medium-low heat. Cook gently, using a spatula to stir occasionally, until the eggs are softly set but still slightly creamy—about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat when done.

          Assemble the Sliders: Slice the slider buns in half horizontally. Arrange the bottom halves in the greased baking dish. Spoon the egg mixture generously over each bottom half, ensuring an even distribution. Place the top halves of the buns over the fillings to create mini sandwiches.

            Bake to Perfection: Place the assembled sliders in the preheated oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are light golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

              Serve Your Sliders: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow the sliders to cool for a few minutes. If desired, top each slider with fresh avocado slices and serve with salsa on the side for a burst of flavor.

                Enjoy the Treat: Slice each slider in half for easy serving and enjoy them warm to savor the gooey melted cheese combined with the savory egg filling!
