College student's fried egg art reinvents the breakfast staple

The Eggshibit is the adorable new Instagram account you need in your life, dedicated the whimsical art of making morning eggs fun.

Spider webs, friendly felines and even a double-yolked Darth Vader get their own eggy tributes on the month-old Instagram page.

The account's 20-year-old creator is a medical student based just outside Mexico City, who clearly loves his brain food – or procrastinating. Or both.

9Honey Kitchen caught up with the amateur egg artist, whose work has already been picked up by multiple mainstream media outlets, garnering more than 2000 followers since its debut.

He is still keeping his true identity under wraps, but apparently this egg-cellent project started around three years ago when the then-teenager came across a yin and yang symbol made out of a fried egg online.

"I though it looked cool so I decided I would give it a shot and try to recreate it. To my surprise, it came out quite well!"

The egg creative continued to share the edible artworks via his personal Instagram account, and only recently started the dedicated account, @the_eggshibit.

Each egg masterpiece takes around 20-40 minutes "depending on the details or how many I'm making", with subject matter ranging from pop cultural icons to flowers and famous cityscapes.

When he's not learning about cardiology or nephrology, the doctor-in-training is constantly on the look-out for new egg subjects.

"I might see something throughout the day that inspires me and wonder if it would look good made in egg. I’ll play it out in my mind or sketch it out on paper in necessary, then I’ll get cracking."

The jury is out on taste – after all, they're just unseasoned, fried eggs, as far as we can tell – but for what they may lack in taste, we reckon they make up with a sunny (side up) disposition.
