Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup shelled salted pistachios

  • 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.
