The humble sandwich goes haute. Build a better sandwich with a few fresh ingredients and some creative upgrades.

  • 1 small garlic clove
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary leaves
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 croissants , sliced in half
  • 1 firm, crisp red apple , thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Whirl pistachios with ricotta, garlic, rosemary and lemon juice in a food processor until combined. Add olive oil through the feed tube until thick. Scrape into a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Assemble sandwich by generously spreading both halves of each croissant with ricotta pesto. Fan apple slices over bottom halves and press gently. Sandwich with top halves.
