“I loved dipping toast in them and inherited grandma’s egg cups.” Although soft-boiled and poached eggs are still very much in vogue, the commenter said it just doesn’t make sense to make them when you’re living alone.

“I loved dipping toast in them and inherited grandma’s egg cups. I never make them because bread just doesn’t make sense when you’re gluten and carb sensitive, living alone. And these really need to go with toast!”

Tourtière
