- Large, deep microwave safe bowl
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoon salt
- water
Instructions
- Add the eggs and salt to a bowl and add enough water to cover the eggs.
- Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on high for 5 minutes. Let the bowl sit for one minute. Then microwave on high for another 4 minutes.
- Immediately add ice to the bowl or run the eggs under cold water to prevent them from cooking more.

Notes
- Note that the nutritional calculator includes the salt in the calculation. Since you aren't eating the salt the sodium content isn't an accurate number.
- Use room temperature eggs for best results. If you use cold eggs you will need to add more cooking time and the eggs will be more likely to explode.
- Do not leave out the salt when you cook eggs in the microwave. If you do the eggs will explode.
- Be sure to use a large, deep bowl, not a shallow bowl to cook these eggs. If you use a shallow bowl they might explode.
