Ingredients

Scale

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.
