Boil Eggs in a Microwave

Boiling eggs in a Microwave is easier and quicker than one may think. Eggs hard boiled in the microwave are done sooner then when boiled on the stove top.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Eggs
Microwave safe bowl
Water
Microwave Oven

Step 1

Place your eggs in the microwave safe bowl. I used three eggs in this hard boiled egg microwave recipe.
Step 2

Add water to the bowl. Add enough water allow the eggs to become completely submersed under water.
Step 3

Place the microwave safe bowl in the microwave oven. Cook the eggs on normal settings for 4 minutes depending on your microwave oven itself. Some microwaves cook hotter than others. Just make sure your water comes to a complete boil.
Step 4

Let the hard boiled eggs sit in the water for at least 4 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to touch the water or eggs right after boiling them. The water and eggs will be very hot and could cause injury.
Step 5

Rinse the boiled eggs with cold water to cool the eggs. Now enjoy your nice boiled egg that you microwaved. Try the egg with some salt and pepper for seasonings.
