Have you ever wanted to enjoy a breakfast of sunny-side-up eggs but with a tiny twist? Probably not—but millions on Instagram want to take a crack at it.
In a Reel that now has more than 1.3 million likes, creators and parents @sofiadun10 and @wesdunlop made a breakfast of a dozen mini sunny-side-up eggs for their toddler. The video shows the kid’s father using a flavor injector to squeeze a small amount of egg whites onto a pan heated on the stove, then adding an even smaller amount of yolk into the center. While you end up with same flavor as a normal-sized sunny-side-up egg, they turn into bite-sized finger food—perfect for a little one.

“I love love seeing this, so creative and fun!” one user commented. “I have 4 kids and as busy as life gets, what makes it fun is finding opportunities to do stuff like this.”
I decided to give the mini eggs a try, too, to see if taking the extra steps would be worth it to make my mornings just a little sunnier.
First, I turned my stove to low, making sure the heat was evenly distributed across the surface of my pan so I wouldn’t end up with some eggs underdone and some overly fried. I also wanted them to cook slowly so I’d have enough time to add the yolk without worrying about them burning.

I followed the steps in the video, suctioning up the whites of a cracked egg into the flavor injector and squeezing it onto the pan. (One egg can make anywhere from one to two dozen mini sunny-side-up eggs, depending on the size you want.)
After all of the egg whites had cooked enough to hold their shape, I filled the flavor injector with the yolk and squeezed a dot into the center of each. I let them cook for about four minutes total; once done, I took the pan off the heat and transferred them onto a plate.

They tasted just like you’d assume, but I found seasoning them a bit more difficult. Next time, I’d mix the seasonings in before squeezing the egg into the pan. It took a little bit of trial and error, and many of my first mini eggs were not the most visually appetizing. But after a couple tries, I got the hang of it—and they definitely made breakfast more fun.
