Grilled Halloumi Smash Croissant with Pistachio Pesto and Crunchy Apple Slaw

1. Combine all the pesto ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth with a slightly coarse texture. Set aside.
2. Whisk together all the dressing ingredients. Toss with the cabbage, kale, apple and seeds. Set aside.
3. Slice the croissants in half horizontally. Place each half cut-side down in a hot skillet and press firmly with a spatula or grill press to flatten them. Cook for a few minutes until deeply golden and crisp.
4. Slice the L’Ancêtre Organic Halloumi into pieces about 1 cm thick. Heat the olive oil in a skillet and grill the slices for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown.
5. Spread a generous layer of pistachio pesto over the bottom half of each croissant. Top with the grilled halloumi, then add a generous handful of the crunchy slaw. Finish with the top half of the croissant and serve immediately.

Fresh, crunchy and packed with flavour, this sandwich is perfect for an easy summer lunch or dinner. L’Ancêtre Organic Halloumi adds a delicious golden crust while staying perfectly tender inside, making every bite unforgettable.
