Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place cold eggs into a bowl of warm water; this keeps them from cracking when cooked.

Step 2

Fill a microwave-safe bowl with salted water. Microwave on high until boiling, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.

Step 3

Remove eggs from warm water and place into boiling water; cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Microwave at 60% power for 1 1/2 minutes.

Step 4

Remove plastic wrap and transfer eggs to a bowl of cool water to stop the cooking process. Peel and serve.
