Ingredients
2 tablespoons Avocado Oil
3 onions, cut into 1/2 rings or petals

1 tablespoon Mediterranean Rub
1/4 cup Dry White Wine
1 tablespoon Spanish Reserva Sherry Vinegar
1 crusty Italian Baguette
3 tablespoons Wild Rosemary Olive Oil
1/2 pound fresh Mozzarella cheese
Recipe Preparation
In a large sauté pan, heat the Avocado Oil over medium heat. Add the onions, Sel Gris, sugar, and Mediterranean Rub.
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, as the onions slowly caramelize and reduce, about 50-60 minutes.
Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the wine to de-glaze the pan. Stir in the Sherry Vinegar. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Cut the baguette into ¼” slices and arrange on a baking sheet. Drizzle with Rosemary Olive Oil and bake until light brown in color, about 10 minutes
Top each of the baguette slices with mozzarella cheese, caramelized onions, and a pinch of Mediterranean Rub. Return to the oven until the cheese is melted and golden in color, about 10 minutes. Enjoy!
