Wrap it in tinfoil. Lots of tinfoil.

You could put it into a (microwave safe) cup of water, then just proceed as for boiling an egg.

Put it in a little tupperware thing, add about a tablespoon of water then poke the yoke. Heat for about a minute or so.

You have to stick a pin through it all the way to the yolk.

Or you could just stop being lazy and boil some water on the stove.

Yep. You've got to poke some holes in the yolk.

KITCHEN DANGER: EXPLODING EGGS

The popularity of microwave ovens has introduced a new breakfast hazard. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, microwaved egg yolks have, when pierced with a fork, exploded and caused serious burns to the face and eyes. To avoid creating a fowl explosion, microwave manufacturers advise: Never use a microwave to hardcook or reheat an egg in the shell. When poaching an egg in the microwave, always cover the container according to manufacturer's instructions, and always wait at least one minute after cooking to puncture the yolk.
