Preparation

Step 1

Lay out 4 slices of mortadella. Spoon some robiola in the center of each and top it with a basil leaf. Fold the mortadella over the cheese, folding in the sides to form a neat packet and secure it with toothpicks. Repeat with the remaining slices.

Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Grill the packets over high heat for about 1 minute per side until lightly charred and the cheese has melted. Discard the toothpicks.

Toss the arugula with the olive oil and vinegar and season with salt. Transfer to a platter. Place the packets on the arugula and serve.

Packets can be refrigerated for up to 4 hours. Bring to room temperature before grilling
