Cereal, pancakes, oatmeal and omelets.…breakfast can feel like one big “same old, same old” after a while. If you’re sick of making your normal breakfast rotation I bet your family feels the same way about eating it. Whenever I whip up these Bell Pepper Egg Flowers in the morning to my kids it’s like I bought a brand new car. It’s such a welcome novelty that my little guys go nuts with excitement! They both adore bell peppers and by adding a perfectly cooked egg and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top, this breakfast treat is an easy way to get protein and even a bit of veggies into my family’s bodies first thing in the morning.

Remember that FTD Mother’s Day slogan, “say it with flowers”? Well, after watching your kids make all gone with this recipe I think you’ll agree that roses and tulips aren’t the only flowers that can make a mom happy!

  9. adorable! my daughter will love these (and i will too – such a great idea for a type 1 diabetic breakfast). we are always looking for new bkfst ideas – thank you!!

  10. Revealing your creative juices, again! Wish I had thought of this idea. Well done. Will pass this egg flowers breakfast along giving you the credit. Can’t wait to put this recipe before the Kid Kritics… for the health of families.

  11. Great idea!! My daughter loves peppers. She likes her eggs scrambled. Could I pour scrambled eggs into the pepper flowers?

  12. Yes! It will work in a cookie cutter if you grease it well and be super careful (use tongs) when you slide it off the egg.

  13. Hmmm, my son doesn’t like bell peppers but I wonder if this would work if I cooked them in a cookie cutter. I’d have to oil the cutter first of course. Hmmm…

  14. I love this! My kids like the eggs in a nest and they LOVE their green peppers! What a fun way to change up breakfast!

  15. Yum! I LOVE red peppers in omelets so I bet this would be delicious. And it seems like it could be quick enough for a busy morning, a big plus!
