Eggcups are used for softboiled eggs. My grandmother used to cook them for
me when I was a kid, and served them with toast "soldiers" to dip in the
yolk.

I have never eaten a soft boiled egg nor would I. Maybe they are common
elsewhere? I don't think they are common here. At least I've never heard
of anyone eating them.

My brother used to eat fried eggs with runny yolks. He would dip his toast
in them. It would gag me to watch. I never really liked eggs but if I had
to eat them they would have to be fried to a crisp or hard cooked.

And yet again you ignore the answer

My family frequently eats soft or medium boiled eggs. When the kids were
small I had a system to time them, taking out my usbands firsst, as he
liked them softest, walking them inot the dining ffoyer, then taking mine
out and walking them in , then Mitcch's , and finally, Jon's as he liked
them nearer to hard boiled, but still with softness in the yolk. I still
have them as they are, to me the ultimate comfort food! i serve them in a
pyrex custard cup, finind the traditional English egg cup les satsfactory
unless you have one of those double sided one, so I can put the eggs into
the deep side, totally out of the shell.

End my dissertation on boiled eggs:-)

what a nice family memory, wendy i am not sure if you have grandkids or not,
but this would be a perfect story to go into a family cook book complete
with times and prep and a description of what you saw on each trip, Lee

as long as the white is done i am good with it, egg cups are very gentile
and very cool if you cut off the top and dip bread/toast in, but you must
like soft eggs, Lee
