If you have a microwave oven, this recipe will become as basic for you as baked potatoes. It is SO easy, yet tasty and impressive, too. The onions may also be baked in a conventional oven.

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 large sweet onions, preferably Vidalias
salt
fresh ground black pepper
butter
shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Cover and cook at 100% power (HIGH) for 8 to 10 minutes, or until onions are soft.
  • Uncover and top each half with shredded cheese to taste.
