If you try to microwave eggs in their shells, they will explode! My husband tried to reheat a boiled egg in the microwave; it exploded with loud noise and made a big mess.
You can poach eggs in a microwave. I have a microwave egg poacher that cooks up to 4 eggs at a time. I only used it once because I don’t like poached eggs. (I tried this egg poacher for making idlis in the microwave and it worked great. :) ) This is how it looks like: http://www.cutleryandmore.com/img/5449.jpg You need to pour a couple of teaspoons of water, then crack the egg into this dish and poke a few holes on the yolks before microwaving. I think you can use any microwave safe bowl to poach an egg. It takes very little time to cook an egg. I guess 1 to 2 minutes, then you need to let it stand for a few minutes to complete the cooking process. Don’t overcook them.
You can also scramble an egg in the microwave. In this case, you may need to stop the microwave and stir the egg a few times during the cooking time.
Egg Ghee roast
Hard boil eggs, (for 12-15 min). Slice into two. I use a piece of sewing thread to cut it neatly, instead of a knife.
In a non-stick pan heat 1/2 to 1 tsp of ghee per egg. when it is hot, take the pan away from the flame. Put in salt, 1/4 to 1/2 tsp red chilli pow, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Mix. place the egg halves and coat the egg with the spice sauce. Return the pan to heat. let the egg heat thro. switch off the flame.
This I make as a side dish for dinner, when there is no spicy dish around.
Try it and let me know if u like it.

Hey! I tried frying the boiled eggs in a chickpea batter along with chilli , coriander, salt & pepper powders & sprinkled corriander leaves, its a great tea-time snack!
Egg masala: Boil eggs and cut them into two and leave it aside.
In a pan, heat oil, add mustard and after it starts spluttering ad urad dal. Fry a bit till it gets brown and then add finely sliced onions and fry till transparent. To this add tomatoes and cook till the oil separates. Add chilli powder, turmeric powder and salt. Add the egg pieces now to the pan and top it with the gravy. Add chopped corriander and curry leaves on top and leave for 10-15mins and wait for the gravy to seep into the egg.... Serve with rice or Roti :)
