Getting your eggs just right may boil down to exact timing, but one way to elevate the humble – yet oh-so-nutritious – boiled egg, is to present it in a pretty egg cup that makes you smile every time you serve breakfast or carefully slice your toast into soldiers.
Egg cups come in endless shapes and colours; some are pedestal-shaped, some have a nifty saucer (designed to catch runaway yolk) while others are outrageous and kistch, shaped like chickens, historical figures and even buildings. All of this is to say that egg cups are fun to collect. In fact, there’s even a name for the hobby: pocillovy.
