Microwave Baked Onions

1. 1

   Peel onions and cut in half horizontally. Place in a 1-quart casserole dish.

2. 2

   Top each onion half with salt and pepper to taste. Add a pat of butter, using 1/2 teaspoon to 1/2 tablespoon per onion.

3. 3

   Cover and cook at 100% power (HIGH) for 8 to 10 minutes, or until onions are soft.

4. 4

   Uncover and top each half with shredded cheese to taste.

5. 5

   Pop back in microwave and zap just long enough to melt the cheese.

6. 6

   If you prefer, bake the onions one hour in a conventional 350-degree oven, topping with cheese when baking has finished.

7. 7

   An alternate topping: Prepare onions as above, but top each half with 1/2 tablespoon EACH butter and brown sugar.
