Egg cups are the perfect Nigerian breakfast in bed that you can serve to your mum or any mother figure in your life on Mother’s Day or indeed any day that you want or pamper her. If you miss doing this in March, there is another mother’s day in May. Mother’s Day is one day that the world is not united on. I wonder why. Again if you miss celebrating your mum or the mother figure in your life you can safely aim for women’ day which is 8th of March and treat her to these Egg cups with dodo . Besides having this in bed I can see the convenience of these egg cups packed for her for breakfast in the office.
Eggs are such convenient protein source in the morning. Nature made it so perfect good packaging and excellent product inside. God’s creations are indeed perfect.
My daughter had actually served this Egg cups to me in bed last weekend as she said she wanted to start her celebration one week ahead. I keep fingers cross and look forward to some heavier pampering session on the d- day. Well even if you cannot make these Egg cups just be sure to do something special for mum.

I really, really love this✌️The presentation is just fab!!!! I’m definitely going to make this….
Hi Bo. Thanks for the kind words. Ihope you were able to try the Egg cup with dodo
Lol. My dear despite the really beautiful presentation i hate eggs so much that its hard for me to understand why other people eat them but will ask hubby if its something he’d like to try. By the way, thanks for being so very creative with ur recipes. You da bomb!
Hi Devaan. Yes we do have our likes and dislikes when it comes to food. I am sure there are other recipes on the website that will appeal to you. Thanks for stopping by my website.
Too many sef. Like I said, You da bomb!
Anyway since I seem to have caught you online, any reason why my puff pufc always winds up like buns? I try doing everything right. Will the wrong quantity of yeast or sitting for too long cause that?
Hi, Devaan. Pastry requires that you follow the right quantity of ingredients. Something like the temperature of the water can spoil things. Check out my recipe which has been standardized. All the best in your next puff puff session.
I saw u on channels. Iq. U blog is amazing,so much to learn. So grateful.

Hi, Tayo. thank you for the kind words mentioned about 1qfoodplatter. Hope you are trying out some of our recipes.
Hello Please did you place ramekins in the water in the baking tray to bake? Is it possible to bake this without placing the ramekins in water? I plan to make these for christmas breakfast for my inlaws (14 of us in total) so I want to know if i can bake on flat baking pans which are so flat that they cannot hold water. that way i can bake so many at a time . I have a 3 gas hob cooker so the oven is a bit small.
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Hello Zen , it is safer to bake in a tray with water.
