Ingredients (serves 4):

- 4 slices of sourdough bread
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 4 slices of bacon, chopped
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of crumbled goat cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Tips:

- Use a cast-iron skillet to caramelize the onions and bacon for a deeper flavor.
- Don't overcook the onions, as they will become mushy and lose their texture.
- Use a good quality balsamic vinegar for a richer flavor.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they are caramelized, stirring occasionally for about 20 minutes.
3. Add the chopped bacon to the skillet and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar to the skillet and stir until the mixture is well combined.
5. Toast the sourdough bread slices in the oven for about 5 minutes.
6. Spread the caramelized onion and bacon mixture over the toasted bread slices.
7. Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese over the top of the tartines.
8. Place the tartines back in the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious combination of sweet and savory flavors!
