Instructions

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.
Brush each croissants with melted butter, sprinkle with black sesame, and bake for about 5 minutes or until croissants are crispy and cheese melted. If at anytime, the top is browning, cover with aluminium foil during baking. Serve immediately with a few fresh basil leaves if desired.
