Slider Heaven
Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner; sausage and egg sliders will curb any appetite using your favourite COBS Bread Bun, Loaf or Dinner Roll as your base. To make summer life even easier, consider making a batch at a time to place in the freezer and shoot them straight into the oven when needed.
