Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ciabatta loaves, halved lengthways
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 200g mozzarella, torn into pieces
- 4 tbsp tomato passata
- 2 large red onions, thinly sliced

- Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the sliced red onions and cook for 15-20 minutes until they are soft and caramelized. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the onions are sticky and golden. Set aside.
