Ingredients

4 thin slices challah bread (or any bread you'd like - you want fairly thin slices so the cheese melts and the sandwich is heated through)

3 balls bocconcini cheese, sliced

small handful fresh leaves basil, chopped

2 slices red onion

1 medium tomato, sliced

pinch salt

drizzle of balsamic vinegar

butter (for buttering the bread)

Directions

Place the tomatoes, red onion and cheese on a plate. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over and drizzle some balsamic over everything.

Optional Step: if you like very strong onion flavour, then you can keep them raw and skip to the next step. If you prefer a more mild flavour, lightly saute the onions at this point (and if you want to add in some sliced mushrooms, you can saute those with the onions).

Butter one side of each slice of bread. Layer the sandwich with the bread (butter-side down), then cheese, then onions, chopped basil, tomatoes and then the other slice of bread (butter side up).

Grill either in a hot pan or a panini grill (flip half way if using a pan) until bread is golden brown on each side and cheese has melted.
