Melt half the butter in a frying pan and cook the onion until softened, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Place the cooked onion, ground sirloin and parsley in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Form into 6 equal-size burgers. Melt the remaining butter in the frying pan and brown the hamburgers on both sides. Drain and keep warm. Preheat the oven to 475 F. Place a piece of ham on 6 of the pieces of toast. Place a 1/2- inch slice of tomato on each piece of ham. Top with a burger and a slice of cheese. Bake for 5 minutes.
