Grilled cheese for adults!
Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Slice the two onions into half moons and add the onions to the skillet with 1 tablespoon of butter, 1 more tablespoon of olive oil and 2 teaspoons of salt.
Cook the onions on medium heat for about 20 minutes. You want them to be really soft and golden brown (turn down to medium-low if they start to brown too quickly). Set them aside until all your ingredients are ready to go.
In another skillet on high heat, sauté 1 pint cherry tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste, and 1 teaspoon olive oil until dark brown and soft. Set aside when done.
In a small bowl, mix together 3/4 cup part skim ricotta cheese, 3 tablespoons chopped basil, 1/3 cup chopped baby spinach and salt and pepper to taste.
Slice and butter one side of good, crusty bread. Do this for all 12 pieces of bread using salted butter.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread a spoonful of the ricotta mixture on the unbuttered side of each slice of bread. Then sprinkle on 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan on each and cover with 1 slice of thinly sliced fresh mozzarella. Top with some of the roasted tomatoes and caramelized onions. Close the sandwich up with the other piece of bread and brown the sandwich in a skillet on medium heat for about 3 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melty.
Serve hot and enjoy!
