Sunny Eggs and Avocado Trees
I love playing with my food. I never really thought about it much before I started taking food photos. Now whenever I see a picture of food art, it fascinates me. Each month I participate in The Recipe Redux where I create a recipe based on a theme. This round, we were prompted to “Get Your Fruits and Veggies in Shape” by showing how to serve the bounty of gardens and orchards in shapes like ribbons, noodles, cut-outs, or other creative cuts. I thought about playing around with cookie cutters or my spiralizer. Then the inspiration hit me! Enter my Sunny Eggs and Avocado Trees.
Any parent knows that feeling when your child comes home from school with ANOTHER fundraising catalog: gift wrap, candles, and for me the dreaded candy or cheesecake. Sigh. Last year, my daughter came home with an awesome catalog filled with kitchen gadgets, hallelujah! Included was this adorable cloud shaped silicon egg shaper. Sold!

I’m a huge fan of runny eggs on top of avocado toast. This is just another super fun way of presenting it. Perfect for any meal of the day, it’s very satisfying thanks to the protein, whole grains and healthy fats. Get the kids to help you cut and decorate the trees, it’s a wholesome meal for every member of the family.

Sooo cute! This put such a smile on my face 🙂
Awww, you made my day! 🙂
Haha that’s so cute. I wonder if you added a bit of grass at the bottom, with some finely chopped leafy greens, if it would get the little ones to eat more green stuff. My nephews hate green leaves but that might just work.
These are SO cute!! Pinning!!
What an adorable way to serve eggs to kids (and adults who need a little fun on their plate!) I hear you about those fund-raising catalogs–it’s nice when there is something useful to buy:)
Thanks, Bridget!
