It all started by accident – one perfect, symmetrical breakfast made with love resulted in a colossal instagram following and some work of the art breakfasts that will make your mouth water! Michael Zee‘s very first breakfast arrangement made for his boyfriend, Mark Van Beek of two years consisted of fruit juice, salami, avocado and an omelette which he symmetrically arranged and took a photo of, for social media. This resulted in a flurry of comments from friends and before anyone knew it, The Symmetry Breakfast was born. Now, more than 260 thousand followers and 561 posts later, The Symmetry Breakfast have been to various parts of the world and continue to conquer when it comes to delicious and exquisite breakfasts.

Check out this small glimpse of some of the culinary compositions they have created!
