Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the ciabatta in half lengthwise and scoop out insides if desired. Drizzle with olive oil and toast for 6-8 minutes until crispy.
  2. In a food processor, combine basil, pistachios, lemon juice, zest, and garlic. Blend until finely chopped, then drizzle in olive oil and mix in Parmigiano Reggiano. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Layer the bottom half of ciabatta with mortadella, then burrata torn into pieces. Sprinkle with flaky salt, drizzle with olive oil or truffle oil, and top with chopped pistachios.
  4. Spread pesto on the cut side of the top ciabatta piece, then place over the fillings and press gently.
  5. Cut into portion-sized pieces if desired and serve immediately. Wrap tightly in parchment paper if prepping in advance.
