Buffalo mozzarella mixed with a little crème fraîche makes a wonderful creamy dip; if you’ve got some great burrata to hand, it makes a delicious alternative, too – but you may want to omit the cream.

2.Break mozzarella into a large shallow serving bowl. Combine crème fraîche with cream and lemon and season to taste, then drizzle onto mozzarella, top mozzarella with mint and smoked paprika to taste, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and serve with crostini.
