Awesome Figgy Sandwich

In a large skillet, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil and the butter over medium-low heat. Add the onions and a pinch of kosher salt. When the onions begin to brown add a dash of sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a cool plate or bowl to stop the cooking process.

While the onions are caramelizing, put balsamic vinegar into a small pot and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until reduced by 1/2 and liquid becomes syrupy, about 5 minutes.

Assemble your sandwich, start with a slice of focaccia, top with prosciutto, figs, onions and some goat cheese. Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the goat cheese, top with fresh basil and another slice of focaccia bread.

* Also some toasted Italian bread or ciabatta bread would be great.
