Cut the tomatoes and onions into fairly small cubes. Press the garlic cloves through a press or chop them into very fine pieces. Mix everything together in a bowl with olive oil and a little salt and pepper. If you have time, let the mixture sit for a few hours. If you’re hungry, skip this step. Drain off any excess liquid. Cut the ciabatta into top and bottom halves and dry/toast them in a preheated oven (225-250 degrees Celsius) for about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, thinly slice the mozzarella. Spread a layer of the tomato and onion mixture on each half of the ciabatta and top with the mozzarella slices. After another 4-5 minutes in the oven, enjoy!
