    Heat a grill or panini machine.

    Cut the mozzarella into thick slices. Arrange the mortadella on the ciabatta, then the mozzarella slices, the tomatoes and finally the candied onions.

    Close the ciabatta and grill for a few minutes. The mozzarella should not be melted inside. Super tasty!
