Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Caramelize the Onions

    Slice the onion thinly. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the tomato and bell pepper thinly. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Ciabatta Melt

    On one slice of ciabatta, spread avocado spread. Layer with caramelized onions, sliced tomatoes, bell pepper, Queso Oaxaca, and fresh basil leaves. Season with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Drizzle olive oil on the outside of the ciabatta. Place the sandwich on the grill pan and grill for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the grill, cut in half, and serve warm.
