★ Ingredients You'll Need ★
These sliders are simple to make, using just 7 total ingredients!
Here's what you'll need to make these yummy stuffed pretzel rolls:
- Hawaiian Pretzel Slider Buns. These are a relatively new King's Hawaiian product. They are just like soft pretzels! You can usually find them at Target or Walmart.
- Frozen spinach. You want to use frozen chopped spinach, not fresh. Fresh spinach will be too watery and will lead to soggy sliders. Frozen spinach is able to be thawed and squeezed which makes for a perfect filling for these sliders.
- Cream cheese. Simple block cream cheese does the job! If you want to reduce fat, you can also use neufchatel cheese.
- Feta cheese. Crumbled feta is what you want. This will add richness and amazing flavor.
- Butter. You just need a small amount to add flavor, a crispy coating, and this also helps the seasoning stick.
- Everything Bagel seasoning. This is a nice little hack to add a bunch of flavors — garlic, onion, poppy seed, and sesame seeds — in one pinch.
- Parmesan cheese. You can use grated or shredded Parmesan cheese. This goes on top so you can make your choice based on how you want these to look.
That's everything! This is such a simple recipe but packs some really great flavor.

These can also be assembled then frozen before baking. Store them in an freezer-friendly baking pan (a foil pan works great), cover with foil, and then freeze up to 3 months. Thaw before baking or add a few extra minutes of covered bake time to help defrost sliders.
Make sure to use fresh rolls. The longer rolls sit in the package, the more moisture can accumulate inside the package. Check the date on the package when you buy and buy the rolls within a day of use.
Squeezing excess liquid from the spinach is key. Thaw it and then grab chunks of spinach and squeeze with clean hands.
When baking, the layer of butter will create a crisp outside coating so don't skip the butter!
