The pressure build inside until the skin splits and some of the insides of the egg burst out. It is not recommended that hard-boiled (still shelled?) are put into a microwave. Crack the raw egg into a special microwaveable container. Microwave on low power to lessen the risk of having to clean the insides of a microwave!

This is a fairly minor point of usage, but if you say hard boiled eggs you could be interpretted as saying that the eggs are both hard and boiled, when what you really mean is that the eggs were hard-boiled, which is to say, boiled for a longer time than they would be if you wanted soft-boiled eggs. So you can use the hyphen.
