English term or phrase: eggcup
Will "huevera" work? I've never heard that as a term before, just want to confirm. Is it country specific?

Porta-huevo
Explanation:
Estoy absolutamente de acuerdo con First-rate; la huevera es un traste para poner una docena de huevos (o más) en el regrigerador y el porta-huevo o porta-huevos es la media copita específica en el que se coloca el huevo tibio o cocido del desayuno.
