Mini Egg and Ham Muffin Bento

This is my next installment of the mini bento series. Yes, it's another breakfast mini. I've already done a mini pancake stack, which I think was close to my first one. I've also made a mini sandwich, mini sushi, mini pizza, mini market haul, and mini snowman, among others. I got the idea for this one while I was making these whole wheat english muffins a few days ago. I decided to make a couple of mini ones so I could make a mini egg mcmuffin.
So here it is! On the flower shaped cream cheese sandwich I've plated: ham and "egg" (mozzarella cheese topped with real egg yolk dotted with fresh ground pepper) on english muffin, real bacon strips, a cup of "orange juice" (carrot with spaghetti straw), cup of "coffee" (brownie), and my cute little nori utensils. I would have liked the muffin to be even smaller. Next time! I've squeezed in some steamed broccoli and peapods, a sliced strawberry and some grapes for scale. Still have lots more mini ideas to go...

    This is too too cute - how long did it take you to make the nori utensils?

    This turned out so cute, a lot different than I expected. I just adore it! I was inspired when first saw you mini muffins on twitter. I made some tiny arepas and used it in my bento, maybe I'll post it. Thanks!

    Oh my gosh, SO CUTE!! It would take me ages to do this. How do you keep all those little details to stay put? The biggest reason I don't get so creative with mine is I'm afraid everything will fall off when my lunch bag gets jostled.

    Thanks Bobo, Marfio, Bentobird, Cooking Gallery, Sonoma Bento, Megan, Lindsey, Debra, littlelotusblossom and karaimame!

    The nori utensils are made from a craft punch.

    These miniature bento are just for fun; I don't really pack them up as a meal to go. Usually my little girl will eat them right after I make them :)
