Caprese Croissant sandwich is an irresistible vegetarian breakfast sandwich. Buttery and flaky croissants are filled with amazing Mediterranean flavors and then toasted to get that melting cheese and tomato deliciousness!! This sandwich is so easy to make and very quick to put together if you have all the ingredients, and it just needs a handful of ingredients. There is minimal preparation required.
These sandwiches are better prepared and served fresh. However if you need to store them , just wrap in a cling film and refrigerate. They can be stored for 1 day.
You will need :
Croissants : Get the plain croissants or the butter croissants from the bakery /supermarket. I like the butter croissants. Don’t prepare the sandwich from just out of the oven croissants. They should be at room temperature or use a day- old croissants.
Pesto: You can use any store bought pesto. I used my home made vegan almond pesto and you can find the recipe here.
Mozzarella Cheese: You can use any kind of Mozzarella; slices, pearls or ball shaped . If you don’t have mozzarella or don’t like it, use any cheese you prefer.
Tomatoes: Use red and ripe tomatoes and slice them thinly.
Salad leaves: I used rocket leaves in the sandwich. You can use spinach or any salad greens you like.
Basil leaves and seasonings. Caprese= tomato , mozzarella and basil . Get fresh basil leaves for their unique flavor . Then we just need simple seasonings like salt and black pepper .
