Make the Pistachio Pesto
If you are using store-bought pistachio pesto, skip this step. Otherwise, blend 1 cup of shelled pistachios, 1 clove of garlic, 1 cup of fresh basil, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and 1/4 cup of olive oil in a food processor until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toasting the Bread

Toast the Ciabatta
Place the ciabatta slices on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper. Toast in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Spread the Burrata
Once the ciabatta is toasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Spread the fresh burrata evenly over each slice.

Add Mortadella
Layer the mortadella slices on top of the burrata, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Top with Pistachio Pesto
Spoon the pistachio pesto over the mortadella, adding more or less according to your preference.

Garnish
Chop the pistachios and sprinkle them over the crostone for added crunch. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and season with additional salt and black pepper if desired.
