Sandwich With Bacon Pistachio Pesto And Tomato Recipes

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Set aside on a paper towel to drain.
• Spread 1 tablespoon pesto on the bottom slice of toast. Layer tomato slices and 3 slices bacon over each. Season with salt and pepper. Spread 1 teaspoon mayonnaise on remaining bread slices and place on top of the sandwiches. Cut sandwiches in half to serve.

Steps:

• Spread one side of a slice of bread with butter, and place it, buttered side down, into a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Spread the top of the bread slice in the skillet with half the pesto sauce, and place a slice of provolone cheese, the tomato slices, and the slice of American cheese onto the pesto.
• Spread remaining pesto sauce on one side of the second slice of bread, and place the bread slice, pesto side down, onto the sandwich. Butter the top side of the sandwich.
• Gently fry the sandwich, flipping once, until both sides of the bread are golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Line a broiler pan or baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Place the bacon on the pan and broil until the bacon begins to brown and shrivel, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip the bacon, and continue to cook until crispy, about 3 to 5 minutes depending on how hot your broiler is. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Meanwhile, lightly toast the pine nuts by heating them in a medium dry skillet set over medium heat, shaking the pan frequently, until they just begin to turn golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Keep an eye on them, because they toast pretty quickly.
• Combine the toasted pine nuts and garlic in a food processor or blender until a paste forms. Add the basil and continue processing until a creamy, green paste has formed. With the motor running, slowly pour in 1/2 cup olive oil, processing until the oil is fully incorporated. Transfer the paste to a bowl and fold in 1 cup Parmesan with a rubber spatula. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Split the croissants and broil on a baking sheet until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Spray 4 egg rings with cooking spray. Put the rings in the skillet and crack 1 egg into each rings. Cover the skillet to trap the steam and cook until the eggs set, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spread the pesto on the cut sides of each croissant. Place 2 slices of bacon on each croissant, top with an egg and sprinkle with more Parmesan. Enjoy!
