Place the bottom half of the pretzel slider buns in a baking dish or on a serving tray.
Squeeze mayonnaise over the buns and use a spoon to spread it evenly.
Spread the fig jam over the layer of mayonnaise.
Layer the slices of provolone cheese on top of the jam.
Arrange the thinly sliced deli ham over the cheese, covering the entire surface.
Place the top half of the pretzel buns over the ham.
Just before serving, lift the top buns and add a layer of fresh arugula.
Replace the top buns and secure each slider with a decorative toothpick.
Refrigerate assembled sliders up to 2 hours covered. Do not freeze. Best served fresh; arugula will wilt if stored longer than 2 hours before serving.
Assemble up to 2 hours before serving and keep covered in the refrigerator. Add arugula just before serving to prevent wilting.
Apricot jam, peach jam, or honey work well. Avoid overly thick jams that are hard to spread.
Yes. Swiss, cheddar, or fontina are good substitutes. Provolone's mild, slightly smoky flavor complements the sweet jam best.
This recipe makes 9 sliders, or about 4–6 servings depending on appetite and what else is served.
No toasting required. The pretzel buns are soft and ready to eat. Toasting is optional if you prefer a firmer texture.
