Instructions

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions with a pinch of salt and cook until translucent (about 5-7 minutes).
Stir in brown sugar and balsamic vinegar; lower heat and cook until deeply caramelized (15-20 minutes). Set aside.
In another skillet, cook bacon until crispy; drain on paper towels.
Preheat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
Butter one side of each bread slice. Layer cheese, caramelized onions, bacon, and more cheese on half the slices; top with remaining bread slices (buttered side up).
Grill sandwiches until golden brown and crispy (about 3-4 minutes per side). Let rest before slicing.
