Egg Cups

Egg cups are such a small detail, yet they instantly make your breakfast table look tidier and more inviting. Whether you prefer a calm Scandinavian vibe or a bold, minimalist look: with a beautiful egg cup, your soft-boiled egg sits securely and you serve it with extra care. In this category, you’ll find egg cups from House Doctor and Bloomingville, often in timeless shades and materials that feel great for everyday use.

egg cups to match your breakfast table

Do you love a calm, modern table? Then egg cups with a matte finish and sleek shape are a perfect fit. Pair them, for example, with House Doctor plates for a cohesive look. If you prefer a soft, Scandinavian style, it also looks beautiful with a warm mug, like Bloomingville mugs. This way, your breakfast instantly feels cared for and serene, without looking too “staged.”

material, shape, and ease of use

Ceramic and stoneware are popular choices for egg cups: they feel sturdy, look great on the table, and are practical to use. Pay attention to the rim shape: a slightly wider bowl offers extra stability, which is handy when you crack and peel your egg at the table. Complete the setting with a small dish or bowl for eggshells; among your bowls you’ll often find just the right size for breakfast.

how to style egg cups with the rest of your table setting

An egg cup looks its best when the rest of your table matches in color and texture. Place a linen napkin underneath (see napkins), add a butter knife from your cutlery, and keep the base calm. With a placemat or tablecloth, you instantly add more warmth. If you want everything to coordinate beautifully, pair your egg cups with House Doctor tableware or Bloomingville tableware. And for the finishing touch, you’ll find handy items like egg spoons, small bowls, and other details in our kitchen accessories.
