Do not forget to set the table beautifully, put flowers, get the best dishes from the closet, and from the supermarket - napkins with images of Greek goddesses or, at worst, sprigs of olives. Warm hugs and gentle kisses with the words "my goddess", "Aphrodite", "nymph" will only add points to you and increase the level of festive flavor on a cold March 8 morning. And be sure to smile, good luck!

A beautiful and delicious breakfast can be a source of good mood for the whole day. On the eve of International Women's Day, I offer you a recipe for a festive breakfast. This breakfast can be made by anyone who does not even know how to fry eggs. And, of course, your beloved will be happy with such a beautifully decorated breakfast not only on March 8, but also any other morning.

To prepare one portion, we need:

2 sausages
2 eggs
3 slices of soft cheese in individual packages
2 toothpicks

For decoration:
Green salad, carrots, herbs (dill, parsley).

Preparation:

When buying, choose the longest sausages, it is more convenient to work with them. We cut the sausages strictly in half, not completely. Gently bend the halves in the shape of a heart and fasten them with toothpicks.

Grease the pan with a paper napkin. Heat over high heat. We put the prepared sausages. Fry a little.

Gently pour an egg into the middle of each heart. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid and cook until the eggs are whitened.

With a spatula, remove the sausages with an egg, put them on a cutting board, carefully cut off the leaked protein and place the hearts on a beautiful plate.

We make flower pistils from carrots. Cut off the rectangular pieces and round them off with a knife. You can take both boiled and raw carrots.

Roll the cheese plates into envelopes. Put lettuce leaves on a plate. Place the rolled cheese on them. We insert carrots into the middle of the envelopes, turning them into flowers - calla (calla). We make flower stems from stalks of parsley, dill or green onion feathers.
Well, that's all. The festive breakfast is ready!

You can also decorate the dish with herbs, for example, adding a bouquet of calla lilies with a dill herringbone. You can also, after spending a little more time, make a simple salad by rubbing hard cheese with carrots and mixing with mayonnaise. And stuff the calla lilies with this salad.

Such an original breakfast will be a beautiful gift (or a prelude to a gift) not only on March 8, and not only for women. Hearts from sausages with an egg and flowers from cheese will be gladly tucked by both cheeks, both capricious kids and beloved men.
