In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions with a pinch of salt and cook until translucent (5-7 minutes).
Stir in brown sugar and balsamic vinegar; lower heat and caramelize for another 15-20 minutes.
Cook bacon in another skillet until crispy; drain on paper towels.
Preheat a griddle over medium-low heat. Butter one side of each bread slice.
