Pesto, Tomato, Brie Croissant Sandwich
A buttery pesto, tomato, brie croissant sandwich with fresh tomato, melted brie, and herby pesto
Servings 4 sandwiches
Calories 271kcal
Equipment
- Aluminum foil
Ingredients
- 4 croissants split
- ½ cup pesto about 8 tbsp
- 2–3 ripe tomatoes sliced
- 6 slices brie cheese
Instructions
- Preheat to 350°F (175°C). This steady heat melts brie gently and keeps croissants from drying out.
- Use a serrated knife to split each croissant horizontally so the layers stay intact.
- Spoon pesto onto both cut sides of each croissant, using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to reach the corners for even flavor.
- Lay tomato slices on the bottom halves, slightly overlapping so there is tomato in every bite. If very juicy, pat slices dry to keep the pastry crisp.
- Arrange brie slices over the tomatoes, letting them overlap a little for smooth melting.
- Close each sandwich, wrap snugly in foil, and place on a baking sheet. Bake 8–10 minutes, until the brie softens and begins to ooze into the tomatoes and pesto.
- Unwrap, add more brie on top if you like, and return to the oven uncovered for 2–5 minutes until melted.
- Unwrap and serve right away. A small dish of extra pesto on the side is great for dipping or a light swipe between bites.
