Easy Breakfast Sliders for a Crowd with Spiral Ham, Egg and a Dijon Maple Glaze

Find out how to make sliders for a crowd with zero fuss.

Then you bake it. Once it's hot inside and toasty on top, you cut the buns apart into individual sliders. It's so so much easier than making a whole bunch of individual sliders.
