Soft-boiled eggs are commonly served in egg cups, especially in many European breakfasts. An egg topper allows you to open the egg neatly without breaking the shell into messy fragments.
This creates a smooth opening so you can eat the egg with a spoon or dip toast into the yolk.

This pressure creates a clean circular crack.
Because the pressure is distributed evenly, the shell breaks neatly instead of shattering.
