Preparation
In bowl, whisk together egg, grated onion, bread crumbs, salt and pepper; mix in beef. Shape into 8 balls. Flatten each into 5-inch (12 cm) wide patty. Top 4 of the patties with cheese circle; top with remaining patties, gently pressing and pinching edges to seal. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Tomato Salad: Meanwhile, soak sweet onion in cold water for 10 minutes; drain well. In bowl, whisk together parsley, oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper. Add tomatoes and onion; toss to coat. Set aside.
Place patties on greased grill over medium heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until digital rapid-read thermometer inserted sideways into meat mixture registers 160°F (71°C), about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, brush sweet onion rounds with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill over medium heat, turning once, until softened and caramelized, 8 to 10 minutes. Sandwich burgers and onion in buns. Serve with Tomato Salad.
