eggcup
Breakfast table stand
An eggcup is a small cup-shaped holder designed to keep a soft-boiled egg upright for eating.
The egg sits pointed end up in the cup's depression, allowing you to crack off the top and scoop out the contents with a spoon.
Eggcups are common tableware in Britain and Europe, where soft-boiled eggs are a breakfast staple, but less familiar in American households.
