1
Prepare the Onions
Slice the large onion into thin strips.
2
Heat the Oil
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
3
Cook the Onions
Add the sliced onions to the skillet. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes or until the onions are golden brown and caramelized.

4
Prepare the Bread
Slice the ciabatta bread pieces in half horizontally.
5
Spread Mustard
Spread 1 tablespoon of spicy mustard on the cut sides of each ciabatta half.
6
Layer Pastrami and Cheese
On the bottom half of each ciabatta, layer 4 ounces of pastrami followed by 2 ounces of Swiss cheese.
7
Add Caramelized Onions
Top the pastrami and cheese with the caramelized onions you prepared earlier.
8
Close and Toast
Place the top half of the ciabatta on each sandwich and press down gently. Optionally, toast the sandwiches in a pan or panini press for about 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy.
