NIF'S EGG IN A CUP
I can't begin to count how many times I had this as a child and served it to my kids! It's easy and very tasty and we still enjoy it. This was our 'fancy' name (ha ha) for it but you may have your own version. In response to a recipe review, I always use large eggs, so the boiling time may be less for smaller eggs. 3 minutes should still be the minimum amount of time though. Enjoy!

Steps:
- With a spoon, gently place the eggs in boiling water. Boil for 4 minutes and place eggs in egg cups. Immediately crack top of egg off with a knife, salt and pepper to taste. If you let the eggs sit, they will continue to cook.
- While eggs are boiling, toast the bread and spread with butter. Cut toast into strips - I try for 5. Dip the toast strips into the runny yolk - YUM!
- After the yolk is gone, you can scoop out the white with a spoon and eat that as well.

Tips:
- Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will give you the best results. Older eggs may not cook evenly and may have a watery texture.
- Crack the egg into a separate bowl first: This will help to prevent any shell fragments from getting into your cup.
- Season the egg with salt and pepper: This will help to add flavor to the egg.
- Add your favorite toppings: You can add a variety of toppings to your egg in a cup, such as cheese, vegetables, or meat.
- Cook the egg in a microwave-safe cup: Make sure the cup is large enough to hold the egg and any toppings.
- Cook the egg on high power for 30 seconds at a time: Stir the egg after each 30 seconds to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Continue cooking the egg until it is cooked to your desired doneness: The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the egg and the power of your microwave.
Conclusion:
Egg in a cup is a quick and easy breakfast or snack that can be made in just a few minutes. It is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create a delicious and satisfying egg in a cup that will start your day off right.
