You can "poach" an egg by putting it in a custard cup or other small container with a couple of tablespoons of water. Make sure that you pierce the yolk several times with a fork or a toothpick so that it doesn't explode. Microwave on High at 30 second intervals, turning the container a quarter turn each time and checking to see if the yolk is as done as you'd like. Remember that it will continue to cook for a little while longer, so stop just when it's barely done to your liking.
The other way is to scramble the eggs. Melt two teaspoons of butter in a microwave safe container and add the scrambled egg mixture. Cook on High at 30 second intervals, stirring each time. Again, it's easy to overcook eggs in the microwave, so quit just when the eggs are no longer runny in the middle.
Boiling an egg in its shell turns it into a teeny tiny white SCUD missile, however. You will be cleaning up splatters from now until the microwave keels over from advanced old age. It may be a kid tested method, but it is definitely NOT mother-approved. ;-)

Sure there are 2 ways to do this. Put it in the microwave and watch it explolde.... or....
Steal a 70 lb nuke from a secret government facility, then fly to some random deserted location in the middle of the ocean and watch the nuke blow the egg into billions of subatomic partlcles!

I nike eggs if I'm making a sandwich, break into a bowl, whisk with a little mik, nuke on high for about 45 seconds. DON'T just put one in there in the shell, it will explode.

Yes you can, but take it out of the shell first or it will explode. If you scramble the egg and nuke it, you'll get the fluffiest eggs ever.

Eggs can be nuked if you remove them from their shells, slightly scramble them...and then nuke them.
Do not nuke while eggs....they explode, and you will have a mess to clean up.

yes you can put some butter in a bowl and melt it then crack the egg open put it in the bowl and nuke it but you really have to watch it close and presto you have a fried egg good luck

I'd crack it first, scramble it, add a little milk, spray a bowl with cooking spray, add the scrambled egg mixture, then nuke it. You may want to cover it with plastic wrap first.

Absolutely, scramble it up and pop it in the microwave, depending on your microwave, probably 30 seconds.
