If you are looking for a new idea for an appetizer or aperitif, the WHITE BREAD CANNOLI WITH MORTADELLA AND STRACCHINO with zucchini might be the perfect solution. This easy and quick recipe is an original alternative to classic cannoli filled with ricotta, with an extra touch of flavor given by the presence of mortadella and stracchino.
The sandwich bread, zucchini, and mortadella are easy-to-find and very affordable ingredients, but their combination in this appetizer creates a tasty and refined dish that will delight your guests.
And as usual, my mortadella and stracchino cannoli were a hit; I made them for dinner, and even the little one at home who doesn’t like zucchini enjoyed them.
