Toasted Panettone with Mortadella Mousse and Fresh Herbs

  • 2 slices of panettone
  • 4 slices of mortadella
  • 200 g mortadella
  • 100 g ricotta
  • Lemon zest
  • 50 g grated Parmigiano Reggiano
  • 100 g Parmigiano Reggiano shavings
  • Balsamic vinegar from Modena
  • Fresh herbs (mint, basil, marjoram)

Cut the panettone into evenly sized rectangular blocks. Set aside any trimmings—they can be used to make a crumble for desserts or savoury dishes.

Grill the panettone on all sides until golden and crisp.

Meanwhile, blend the mortadella and ricotta in a food processor. Season with pepper and mix until smooth. If needed, add a few spoonfuls of fresh cream to reach a softer consistency. Transfer the mousse to a piping bag.

Arrange the grilled panettone on the plate and top each piece with a slice of mortadella. Pipe small dollops of mousse alongside.

Finish with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, Parmigiano shavings, and a few fresh herbs.
