Caprese Croissant Sandwich

Buttery, fresh, and perfect for a light yet indulgent meal.

This Caprese Croissant Sandwich brings classic Italian flavors to a flaky, golden ACE® Butter Croissant for a bite that feels both elegant and satisfying. Each croissant is layered with vibrant basil pesto, sweet cherry tomatoes, tangy sun-dried tomatoes, tender artichoke hearts, and creamy mozzarella, all nestled among peppery arugula. Baked until the cheese melts into gooey perfection, it’s finished with a touch of fresh basil for extra brightness. A rustic yet refined twist on a beloved favorite — ideal for brunch, lunch, or anytime you want a sandwich that feels like a little luxury.
