Steps for Crostini with Ricotta and Mortadella Mousse
These crostini are perfect for events, for a buffet or a special dinner. Serve them on wooden boards, ceramic plates, or serving trays.
Cut the bread you have chosen into regular, fairly thin slices.
Then toast the bread slices on both sides in a non-stick pan or an enamelled cast iron grill.
In a container, add the ricotta, mortadella, chives, oil, a pinch of salt (if you like, also a pinch of pepper), and a few drops of lemon.
Blend everything very well until you get a homogeneous paste.
Spread the mortadella mousse on the bread using a spoon. If you want, you can transfer the mixture into a piping bag and fill the crostini.

The ricotta can be substituted with a spreadable cheese, and the cherry tomatoes with pistachio crumbs. The ricotta mousse can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge.
