My mom used to make egg in a cup in the microwave with butter and no crackers, but I decided to give this a try 'cause it sounded great. Turns out I really didn't like the crackers - they just turned to mush. Next time I'll stick with Mom's method!

I made this a while ago, but forgot to write my review until I ran across my printout of the recipe again. This was a pretty unusual recipe, and new to me. I thought it was pretty good, and had both helpings for myself. I'm not familiar with soft-boiled eggs, but the yolks were indeed runny, so I guess I did okay. But peeling them was quite tedious for such a little task - maybe there's a secret technique that makes it easier. I'd be up for making this again, should this recipe pop into my head sometime.

I made this for my little brother and I last night when we were both starved. He took one bite and then snatched the cup out of my hands! Afterwards he asked "are you a chef? how do you make such good stuff?" :) It's very very good and super easy, not to mention filling! I only used four crackers in each of ours and it was plenty, although I used a teensy bit more butter. Super recipe!

My grandmother made this with animal crackers. It gave a sweetness to balance the egg as she salted it. YYYYUMMMY!

LOVE this! This is food from childhood, we ate it (and still do!) with Ritz crackers, SO yummy! We also use poached eggs, much easier than dealing with peeling a soft-boiled egg. Thanks for the memory, this may be dinner tonight. :)

This is a simple, delicious "comfort food." I used club crackers, and agree that 7 is way too many for one egg; next time, I'll try it with less. Also, like a previous reviewer, I used a poached egg, as it's far easier to just scoop right out of the water and plop onto your prepared crackers without the hassle of peeling the shell. I can see many ways this could be jazzed up...but for me, the flavours combine perfectly "as is." Thanks for a filling, yummy cup of comfort!

My family has been making these for YEARS. I generally add a sprinkly of the grated Mexican blend cheese to mine. However, 7 crackers per cup is WAY to much cracker for one egg. Just about anything can be added to this, Fritos are a fun change, and adding a bit of chili can be good also.

Mmm, I remember these from my childhood. I've also made them myself once or twice since I graduated college. I do a couple of things differently, which I'll submit here for others to experiment with if they please: One, I grease the sides of the cup with butter instead of mixing it with the other ingredients. Two, I layer the eggs with bread torn into small pieces instead of crackers. You can also add shredded cheese layers, breakfast meats, sauteed onions, etc. The possibilities are really endless.

I loved this & then wanted my husband to try it. He didn't want to but then did, & he loved it too! I too used club crackers but will try it w/ saltines sometime. This would be great for breakfast on a camping trip.

I cannot believe how yummy this is! It's a comfort food. We used Club crackers that were getting stale and they were great. Seriously, I think I'll have this for lunch too!

Once a week I treat myself to an egg. My mom would make something similar for my two brothers but with bread. Now that I finally love eggs I decided to try this with Ritz crackers and boy, this really was a treat! Poached eggs are my fav, which worked very well with this recipe. YUMMO and thanks!
