I never used the egg cup when I was a kid. And I don’t really know the advantage of putting the egg in these tiny, cute little tableware besides a nicer presentation. And probably many share the same ideas as me, think these cups are just an extra (and perhaps unneeded) part of a table setting.
While this has been changed a bit since my family starts to enjoy eating soft boiled egg. Because if you just let the soft boiled egg rolling on the plate, it does look pretty messy, especially when you have a little one with you. As a result, egg cup becomes part of my table when we eat soft boiled egg. Why and how the egg cup can help?
The small cup holds a single soft boiled egg upright so the egg doesn’t fall to its side as you crack it open and dip the toast points into the runny yolk. Although it might seem like a small addition to your place setting, it really will simplify your morning. Besides its practical function, the egg cup comes with many cute and playful egg cup designs. Undoubtedly, your breakfast setting can be easily livened up.
At this time, we will present you with 9 Adorable Animal Inspired Egg Cups. Hope you like them.
