The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 4-6 croissants, sliced in half, lengthwise
  • 4 Tablespoons basil pesto
  • 8 mozzarella pearls or 2 large mozzarella balls, sliced
  • 8 cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Black or white sesame, for sprinkling (optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Arrange bottom half of croissants in a single layer on a large baking sheet, lined with parchment paper.
  • Spread the pesto sauce over each half, then stuff with sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella and arugula leaves into the croissant. Top with second half of the croissant buns.
