Coddled Eggs for Breakfast

I went to visit my mum over the weekend and she gave me this cute Royal Worcester egg coddler.  I've seen these little pots before but was never quite sure what they were for.   To be honest I didn't really know what a coddled egg was either, but I soon found out and they are pretty tasty.

Place a small knob of butter at the bottom of the coddler and then crack an egg into it, screw the lid on.

Place in boiling water for about 6-8 minutes

Unscrew the lid and you find a delicious buttery egg.

Very tasty!
