I learned this nifty trick from the Olive Oil–Fried Eggs in <a href = "https://www.amazon.com/Dinner-Changing-Game-Melissa-Clark/dp/0553448234/?tag=food52-20"><i>Dinner: Changing the Game</i></a> by Melissa Clark. You fry herbs in olive oil, then crack an egg on top so the two become intertwined, like sweethearts holding hands. In the original recipe, Clark uses sage. But the world is your herb garden. Play around and see what happens. Try snipped chives, torn mint or dill, or leaves of sage, oregano, or thyme leaves, even diced scallions.
