We’ve taken an American classic and given it an Italian makeover. Ciabatta bread is crusty on the outside, irresistibly soft on the inside, and hearty enough to hold juicy patties, sweet caramelized onions, and tangy greens. But the best part? It soaks up the tomato-balsamic vinaigrette for a pop of flavor in every bite.

Instructions

Wash and dry all produce. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and 1 teaspoon sugar. Cook, tossing, for 6-8 minutes, until caramelized. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the pan and set aside. TIP: For a bolder flavor, add 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar to the pan after the onions are caramelized, then reduce on low until syrupy.

Mince 1/2 teaspoon garlic. In a large bowl, whisk together ½ Tablespoon tomato paste, 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 Tablespoon olive oil, and as much of the garlic as you like. Season with salt and pepper.

Form the ground beef into two patties, and season on both sides with salt and pepper. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the patties. Cook 2-4 minutes per side, until almost cooked to desired doneness. Top with mozzarella cheese. Cover the pan for another minute, until the cheese melts.

Toast the ciabatta: While the burgers cook, halve the ciabatta rolls. Place in the oven to toast 3-5 minutes.

Toss the salad: Toss the arugula into the vinaigrette, and season with salt and pepper.

Place each burger inside a bun, then top with the caramelized onion and a bit of sweet-and-tangy salad. Serve the remaining salad on the side and enjoy!
