10-Minute Over-Easy Breakfast Flowers 🍳
This is the little breakfast I make when I want a slow weekend morning to feel like a tiny event. Halved cherry tomatoes become the petals, an over-easy egg is the golden middle, and a sprig of parsley stands in for the stem. It takes all of ten minutes and looks far more impressive than it has any right to. Best part: it is a fun one to build with little hands, and Gabriella and Anthony are weirdly proud of themselves every time they plate one.

Ingredients
- 4 cherry red tomatoes sliced in half
- 4 cherry yellow tomatoes sliced in half
- 2 large eggs separated (yolks from whites)
- Salt
- Parsley for stems
- Butter for the pan
Instructions
- Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and set aside.
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks carefully. Place each yolk in its own small bowl and the egg whites in their own bowl. Salt the egg whites and whisk.
- In a pan on low heat, add butter and melt. Assemble the cherry tomatoes into a flower shape, then place each egg yolk in the middle of each flower.
- Add the egg whites around the flowers. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes until the egg whites whiten.
- Add parsley as stems, then cover and cook another 2-3 minutes.
- Serve with fresh sourdough and enjoy!

Tips for Making This Recipe
- Use a mix of red and yellow cherry tomatoes for the prettiest petals.
- Cook the eggs low and slow in butter so the whites set while the yolk stays runny.
- Slide a thin spatula fully under the egg before flipping so the yolk does not break.
- Arrange the tomato petals on the plate first, then nestle the egg in the center.
- Finish with flaky salt right before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make it sunny-side up instead?
Yes. Skip the flip and just cover the pan for a minute to set the whites.
What bread goes well with it?
Buttered sourdough toast rounds it out and is perfect for dipping into the yolk.
Can I scale it up for a crowd?
Cook the eggs in batches. The tomato petals can be arranged on a platter ahead of time.
