Instructions

Begin caramelizing onions first as they take longest to cook properly.

Heat butter and olive oil in heavy-bottomed pan over medium-low heat.

Add sliced onions with salt and stir to coat evenly with fat.

Cook onions slowly, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes until golden.

Add brown sugar and balsamic vinegar to onions in last 5 minutes.

Stir in fresh thyme and continue cooking until deeply caramelized.

Remove bay leaf and season caramelized onions with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, arrange bacon in single layer in large cast iron skillet.

Cook bacon over medium heat, turning once, until crispy but not burnt.

Sprinkle bacon with brown sugar and black pepper during last 2 minutes.

Transfer cooked bacon to paper towels to drain excess fat.

Mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, and honey for spread.

Butter one side of each bread slice with softened butter.

Toast bread slices in skillet or toaster until golden brown.

Spread mustard-mayo mixture generously on unbuttered side of each slice.

Layer bottom slice with butter lettuce leaves for fresh crunch.

Add 3 slices of crispy bacon on top of lettuce base.

Generously pile caramelized onions over the bacon layer.

Add tomato slices and season with salt and pepper.

Top with cheese slices if using, and avocado if desired.

Sprinkle with fresh chives and additional black pepper.

Crown with top bread slice, spread-side down, pressing gently.

Secure sandwich with toothpicks and cut diagonally in half.

Serve immediately while bacon is still warm and crispy.

Accompany with chips, pickles, or fresh fruit for complete meal.
