onions cooked in microwave
1 Peel onions and cut in half horizontally. 2  Place in a 1-quart casserole dish. 3  Top each onion half with salt and pepper to taste. 4  Add a pat of butter, using 1/2 teaspoon to 1/2 tablespoon per onion. 5  Cover and cook at 100% power (HIGH) for 8 to 10 minutes, or until onions are soft.asy and very tasty. I cooked the onions for 4 min in microwave and then gave them 30 min in 350 oven. Thanks for posting this recipe, I will be making them again, they will be wonderful with bacon, and maybe a little sour cream mixed with the cheese.
