Another way of cooking an egg in a microwave:
Crack an egg into a small cup/Small bowl. (Making sure the bowl isnt too wide)
Put a bit of milk in. Around one and a half Teaspoons.
Whisk it.
Put glad wrap over the top of the Bowl\Cup (Additional sorta, If you dont want your microwave to have little egg pieces everywhere)
Put it in the microwave.
Set the timer for 33-45 seconds. Depending on how powerful your microwave is.

Pros: Doesn't taste rubbery
Is a nice Breakfast, Or a small meal.
Cons: Any sort of Plastic material contains a unhealthy chemical that released when heated.

Additional: Tastes nice with soy sauce. XD

Yes like all.. Works great
Additiions
1 egg 1 min. And turn at 30 sec
Spray Pam or other in bowl before
Plastic wrap or press and seal are the key..both work

This is perfect, just tried it, added a little butter before microwaving (about a teaspoon) to give it a buttery taste, and it turned out just like in the pictures!

I am having a happy yummy breakfast, Thank you so much!

In many microwave egg cooking instructions on the web, they recommend poking a hole in the yolk with a knife so that the egg doesn't explode.
