Ingredients
- 1 small onion, peeled and sliced 1/2-inch thick
- 4 roasted garlic cloves, peeled
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons mustard powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 large egg
- 1 head radicchio, quartered
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 slices Prosciutto di Parma

Instructions
On a large ungreased baking sheet, spread onion rings in an even, thin layer; broil until edges are very charred, removing pieces as they are done, 10-15 minutes.
Place onions in a blender; add garlic, sugar, mustard, onion powder, vinegar, mayonnaise and egg; whirl until smooth. Set aside.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush radicchio with oil. Grill on each side until wilted and grill marks appear. Cut into 1-inch wide pieces.
In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, fry Prosciutto slices until crispy, turning once.
To serve, drizzle 4 serving plates with reserved mustard sauce. Divide bocconcini and radicchio among plates; crumble prosciutto over each.
