Blissfully Domestic~ In the kitchen

What makes a 2 year old happy in the morning?

At my house the answer every time is DIPPY EGGS! Before meeting my husband I was not familiar with dippy eggs. Scrambled, yes. Poached, of course. Fried... hello, I grew up in Missouri. Eating dippy eggs is one of Luke's fondest childhood memories and even still, he looooves when his mom comes for a visit because she makes a dippy egg for him.. ahhh (you know we'll be the same way when our little ones grow up!) 

Here's the secret to making a perfect dippy egg...

1. Fill a pot 1/2 full of cool water and gently place the egg in the bottom.

2. Bring water to a full boil.

3. Let egg boil for JUST 1 MINUTE! (believe me when I say just one minute... I've played with the time and ruined many an egg)

4. Gently remove egg with a slotted spoon and place in your dippy egg holder (there may be a more official name for these things, but if there is, I don't know it)

5. Tap around the top edge (approx. top 1/8 of the egg) gently with a knife and remove top. 

6. Place sliced buttered bread on plate (to dip inside the egg) next to dippy egg and serve with a smile!

Try one tomorrow morning and tell me if your toddler (& maybe your husband too) doesn't love it! Enjoy

I have never had a dippy egg. But I have always adored egg cups. This makes me wonder if my little ones would eat 'dippy eggs' they currently aren't huge egg fans, but I am definitely going to try this. Thanks for sharing at 'I am Blissfully Domestic'

How cute! I'm going to buy an egg cup soon. The one pictured is so cute. I think dippy eggs will be part of Easter breakfast this year :))

Cool! I haven't made one before, but I'd love to try. Thank you for posting!
