Ingredients
- 1 pack King’s Hawaiian Pretzel Slider Buns (9 slider buns)

- Step 2: Drizzle the buns with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with garlic salt.
- Step 3: Place the baking sheet under the broiler for about 3 minutes, or until the buns turn golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Step 4: Remove the buns from the oven. Spread fig jam generously on the bottom halves of the buns.

Tips & Variations
- For extra crunch, add thinly sliced red onions or toasted pine nuts.
- Swap fig jam with apricot or strawberry preserves for a different fruity twist.
- If burrata is unavailable, fresh mozzarella is a suitable substitute though it’s less creamy.
- Toast buns under the broiler carefully to avoid drying out; watch closely as broilers vary in intensity.
Storage
These sliders are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. To reheat, toast buns lightly and add fresh burrata or mozzarella afterwards to preserve its creaminess.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I prepare these sliders ahead of time?
You can prepare the components ahead, such as slicing prosciutto and washing arugula. However, it’s best to assemble the sliders right before serving to keep the buns crisp and the cheese fresh.
What can I use instead of white balsamic glaze?
If you don’t have white balsamic glaze, regular balsamic glaze or a simple balsamic reduction can be used. Just be aware the flavor will be slightly more robust and the color darker.

Ingredients
Slider Buns
- 1 pack King’s Hawaiian Pretzel Slider Buns (9 slider buns)
Spread & Toppings
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- ½ tsp Garlic Salt
- ¼ cup Fig Jam
- 4 oz Prosciutto
- 1.5 cups Arugula
- 2 balls Burrata Cheese
- ¼ tsp Flaky Salt
- 1 tbsp White Balsamic Glaze
Instructions
- Prepare the buns: Split the King’s Hawaiian Pretzel Slider Buns in half and place them on a baking sheet with the interior side facing up to prepare them for broiling.
- Drizzle and season: Drizzle olive oil evenly over the cut sides of the buns, then sprinkle with garlic salt to add flavor and help them brown nicely under the broiler.
- Broil the buns: Place the baking sheet under the oven broiler and toast the buns for about 3 minutes, or until they turn a golden brown color, which enhances their texture and flavor.
- Spread fig jam: Remove the buns from the oven and immediately spread fig jam generously on the bottom halves of the buns to add a sweet contrast to the savory fillings.
- Assemble sliders: Layer the fig jam-side bun bottoms with slices of prosciutto, followed by a handful of fresh arugula, and generous portions of burrata cheese. Sprinkle flaky salt over the cheese for added texture and flavor, then drizzle white balsamic glaze on top to finish.
- Complete and serve: Place the top halves of the buns on the assembled sliders and serve immediately to enjoy the combination of warm, toasted bread with fresh, rich fillings.
Notes
- You can substitute the fig jam with another fruit preserve like apricot or raspberry if preferred.
- For a sharper flavor, add a few cracks of black pepper over the arugula before topping with burrata.
- To maintain the softness of the slider buns, toast them just until golden and avoid over-broiling.
- These sliders are best served fresh, but you can prepare ingredients ahead and assemble just before serving.
- White balsamic glaze can be found at specialty grocery stores or made by reducing white balsamic vinegar with a bit of sugar until syrupy.
