Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. Halve, peel, and thinly slice @red onion{1%unit}. Halve and core @bartlett pear{1%unit}. Thinly slice one half; dice other half. Heat a drizzle of @vegetable oil{1%tbsp} in a #large pan{} over medium heat. Add onion and sliced pear and cook, stirring, until browned, ~{7%minutes} to ~{9%minutes}.

Once onion and pear are browned, stir half the @balsamic vinegar{1%unit} and 1 tsp @sugar{1%tsp} into pan. Let reduce until syrupy, ~{1%minute} to ~{2%minutes} more. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from pan and set aside in a #small bowl{}. Wipe out pan.

Tear @fresh mozzarella{1%unit} into small pieces. Place @flatbreads{2%unit} on a baking sheet. Evenly sprinkle with mozzarella and topping. Bake until mozzarella melts and flatbreads are golden brown, ~{10%minutes} to ~{12%minutes}.

While flatbreads bake, heat 2 TBSP @olive oil{2%tbsp} and a pinch of @chili flakes{1%unit} in pan used to cook topping over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot and begins to bubble slightly, ~{1%minute} to ~{2%minutes}, immediately turn off heat. Pour chili oil into a #small bowl{} and let cool.

In a #large bowl{}, toss together @mixed greens{1%unit}, diced pear, a drizzle of olive oil, and 1 tsp vinegar. Season with salt, pepper, and more vinegar to taste.

Cut baked flatbreads into slices and drizzle with chili oil to taste. For less heat, strain out the chili flakes using a fine-mesh strainer. Serve with salad on the side.
