Improvising:However, if you can´t have these tools or if you want something more creative you can use some types of food to shape your egg while it´s frying. A large onion ring can give you a circle shaped egg or you can use pepper rings to transform it in a flower. If it´s a romantic meal you can open a sausage and give it a heart shape holding a toothpick on the top of it, then it´s just break your egg inside and let it fry. For breakfast time the best idea is fry an egg inside a toast, it´s just make a hole in its center (or use a cookie cutter to make it more precise and natty) and put the egg in there! Creativity will be your nickname!
