I don't think this is just us as I've heard it elsewhere but chucky egg, being soft boiled eggs mashed in a cup with a bit of butter, mainly as comfort food.

We just called it egg in a cup, but you’re right it was a comfort food and I still make it occasionally. Also if I make an egg mayonnaise sandwich I’ll often add an extra egg so I can eat what’s left over.

To me chucky egg is just a hen’s egg - related to chook

Out of interest I googled and …

Dictionary wrote: chucky egg
or chuckie egg (chuhk-ee eg)

WHAT DOES CHUCKY EGG MEAN?

A chucky egg is a British regional term for a chicken egg, especially when it is soft-boiled and chopped up. It is also used as a term of endearment.

Chucky egg was what my mum called it - she was from Lancashire.

i think it's a northern term.
i never heard it where i grew up or down here but northern relatives definitely said it.

when our young were toddlers their name for tinned spicy parsnip soup was 'slippysloppy soup' (sometimes sloup). it may have been a textural identification (as well as stumbling over 'spicy parsnip') as it was one of the few tinned soups i bought and the soup i made had more 'lumps'.

My cousins had a dish called Gondish Stew. It was turkey pilaf, remnants of Christmas dinner.

Soup in our house is always known as 'loop'.
