Method
Heat a pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
Add the mortadella slices and fry briefly, just until they develop a light golden color, then flip once.
Slice the ciabatta roll horizontally.
Spread a generous layer of stracciatella on the inner side of one half of the roll.
Layer the fried mortadella on top of the stracciatella, filling the roll completely.
Spread homemade pesto over the mortadella.
Drizzle honey over the pesto and sprinkle chopped pistachios on top.
Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper, close the sandwich, and serve immediately.
