1/2 large white onion, very thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
2 soft flatbreads or naan (about 4 to 5 ounces each)
1/2 cup fresh ricotta cheese
1 large garlic clove, minced
4 ounces fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced (about 6 slices)
1/4 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese

Preheat oven to 450 °. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and 1/8 teaspoon salt; sauté 8 minutes or until onions are lightly caramelized. Transfer to a small bowl.
Brush flatbreads with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil. Stir together ricotta, garlic, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt in a small mixing bowl, and spread onto flatbreads. Top evenly with cheeses and caramelized onion. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
