There is something so perfectly simple about a boiled egg that always whisks us straight back to childhood. There is no fuss about swirling water round a pan or adding vinegar (poached). There is no necessity to add butter or milk (scrambled). Rather, a boiled egg is a thing of beauty, whether you hard boil it and peel off the shell for lunch; you scoop the insides out to have on buttered toast for breakfast; or you dip strips of toast in for a classic egg and soldiers scenario.

Whatever you do, you need an egg cup that only enhances the joy and fun of this particular breakfast. Though we devour eggs all year round, there is no better time than Easter to extol their many protein-rich virtues. These are the egg cups we’ve got our eyes on for a truly cracking breakfast.
