These wonderful small spicy Sririacha Egg Sliders for breakfast breakfast sliders (mini burgers) are perfect for a brunch. Generally speaking, I love brunch. Brunch is a meal best served just before noon on a Sunday, lasting well into the afternoon. Ideally alfresco with a large group of friends. Having small tapas style breakfast sliders and lots of wine and drinks are a wonderful combination.
Surprisingly, I came across the idea of mixing sriracha and eggs in Las Vegas. I was at some massive conference there, I ordered sriracha eggs benedict in the hope that it would speed my recovery from the night before. The combination of the egg coupled with spice kept me alive for a few more hours. As I oft do, especially at a long boring conference, I noodled over food. Suddenly it hit me, simply add sriracha directly into a whisked egg, serving as a breakfast slider.
A breakfast Slider was born!
After some experimentation, it became apparent that building a simple sandwich to balance the flavors was key. You will find sriracha is bold, an egg is mild, together it forms the perfect combination to layer in the background of a simple delicious bite.
By in large I have served these Sriracha Egg Sliders with great effect many times over. When you put them on a table you will get nods of approval, and lots of compliments. Make sure no shortage of wine is nearby.

Wine Matching
An excellent all-around wine for brunch is Sauvignon Blanc. The center of the wine is dry with a green flavor offering hints of citrus and stone fruit. Perfect for a summer brunch. Personally, I really like good French Sauvignon. I think there is nothing wrong with a light flavorful beer for a brunch. Saison is arguably the Sauvignon Blanc of beer, dry, fruity, yeast gently balancing the hop and fruit. It will have a mildly earthy character to cleanse the palate of the rich flavors in the sriracha egg breakfast slider.Great Sauvignon available from Naked Wines.
