1

Prepare the pesto

Start by making the delicious pesto filling. In a food processor, blend fresh basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil until you have a smooth and flavorful pesto. Set aside.

2

Prep the croissant dough

Unroll your store-bought croissant dough onto a clean surface. Carefully separate the triangles, then spoon a dollop of the prepared pesto onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll up the dough, starting from the wide end, and shape it into a crescent shape. Repeat with the remaining triangles.

3

Bake to perfection

Place your pesto-filled croissants onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops of the croissants with beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 12-15 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and flaky.
