Prepare the Caramelized Onion Jam: In a small pan, melt Butter over medium heat. Add Yellow Onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes, or until deeply caramelized.
Stir in Brown Sugar and Balsamic Vinegar and cook for another 5 minutes, until the jam thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spread softened Butter on one side of each slice of Sourdough Bread.
On the unbuttered side of one slice of bread, layer half of the Cheese Blend, then spread the Caramelized Onion Jam evenly over the cheese.
Top with the remaining Cheese Blend and the other slice of bread, butter-side up.
Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
Remove from skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately.
