Step 1
Add 2 to 6 eggs in the bottom of a microwave safe bowl.
Step 2
Cover the eggs with water at least 1/2 inch above the eggs.
Step 3
Add a 1/2 teaspoon of salt for each egg such as 1 teaspoon for 2 eggs and 3 teaspoons for 6 eggs.
Step 4
Microwave for 4 minutes for 2 eggs, 5 minutes for 4 eggs, 6 minutes for 6 eggs.
Step 5
Fill another bowl with ice and water or cold water.
Step 6
If you want soft boiled eggs with runny egg yolks, immediately remove the eggs from the water and plunge in a ice cold water.
Step 7
If you want hard boiled eggs, allow them to stay in the hot water for 2-3 additional minutes. Two minutes will give you just slightly creamy egg yolks. Three minutes will give you firm egg yolks.
