Ingredients for Preparing Savory Puff Pastry Croissants

How to Prepare Savory Puff Pastry Croissants
Unroll the puff pastry sheet on the work surface and first cut it into four wedges. Then, cut each of those into four more wedges, for a total of 16 triangles.
Make a small cut in the center of the top of each wedge and roll it onto itself, slightly stretching the tip.
Place the puff pastry croissants on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, and brush the surface with a little oil.
Finish by sprinkling half with sesame seeds and the other half with chopped pistachios.
Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F for 15 minutes. Remove the savory croissants from the oven and let them cool before filling them.
Storing Savory Puff Pastry Croissants
The savory puff pastry croissants keep in an airtight container for up to 1-2 days.
