   Often terms are regional.   
      
   I do make breakfast sliders occasionally.  One pack of a dozen of the   
   Hawaiian rolls.   
   Layer of bacon   
   Layer of thin sliced ham   
   Sauteed spinach   
   Shredded cheese   
   Six eggs, beaten   
      
   Put the top on and back about 20 minutes.  I butter the tops and put a   
   touch of course salt.
