Ingredients
Scale

Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and a pinch of salt, cooking for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- While onions cook, preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush portabella mushrooms with 2 tbsp olive oil and drizzle with 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Grill mushrooms stem-side up for 4-5 minutes on each side until juicy and tender.
- In the last minute of grilling, place a slice of Oka cheese on each mushroom to melt.
- In a separate skillet, cook back bacon for 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- To assemble sliders, start with a bottom bun, add the grilled mushroom with melted cheese, caramelized onions, crispy bacon, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and a crispy bib lettuce leaf. Top with the top bun.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
