Have you heard the old saying that the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach? Cooking is filled with passion and love to express how much you want to celebrate your relationship, and it’s easy to convey this through these romantic breakfast recipes. I share some of my favorite savory and indulgent breakfast ideas to make Valentine’s Day morning. Don’t forget the coffee!

What food is eaten on Valentine’s Day for Breakfast?

• Fluffy pancakes and other sweets. There’s something romantic and endearing about whisking up a batch of pancakes from scratch with someone you’re celebrating your love with. French toast, waffles, and crepes are also sweet and indulgent breakfast ideas you can whip up together.
• Breakfast in bed make-ahead recipes. Spend the morning cuddled up while breakfast basically makes itself. Overnight oats and breakfast casseroles are perfect for a cozy morning in bed.
• Savory and hearty dishes. Steak and eggs, omelets, quiches, and breakfast bowls are all great options for cooking your way into your lover’s heart and stomach.
• Baked with love: quick bread and muffins. These are perfect for celebrating a quick moment together before heading to work on Valentine’s Day. Make it the night before to spend a little extra time together if you have a busy morning ahead.

Tips for making Valentine’s Day Breakfast Recipes

1. Adjust recipes for how many are being served. Valentine’s day breakfast may just be the two of you, or you may spend the morning with the whole family. Either way, you can adjust recipes for the number of people eating. Or, make it all and have leftovers!
2. Include fresh fruit. A variety of sweet and savory breakfasts are always complimented best with fresh fruits. Berries, oranges, melons, and grapes are all great options to serve alongside your morning meal.
3. Assemble a breakfast board. Choose a few recipes to fill a board of your favorite morning bites. You can include small pancakes and waffles, bagels with cream cheese, berries, nuts, yogurt, different toppings, mini quiche, and eggs. Make it as intimate or family-friendly as you like!
4. Make-ahead breakfast. Assemble casseroles the night before to bake them fresh in the morning, bake muffins, and mix together overnight oats. You can also simply prep a few things beforehand to make cooking quicker in the morning.
5. Cut into love-inspired shapes. Use a cookie cutter to cut pancakes into hearts or teddy bears and decorate them with sprinkles, whipped cream, or fresh strawberries. It’s easy to add a little extra love to your breakfast visually.

How to plan a Breakfast menu for Valentine’s Day

• Decide the guest count. There’s a big difference between making breakfast for two and serving the whole family, so adjust recipes for how many will be dining.
• Love is the theme. Choose recipes you love and enjoy and create a menu around those tastes. If you’re a meat-eating, egg-loving breakfast eater, then savory valentine’s day breakfast recipes would be better suited. Alternatively, pancakes, cinnamon rolls, and crepes may be right if you both enjoy the sweeter, more indulgent side of breakfast.
• Pick recipes for the time available. Holidays will fall on days when the routine of school and work are still on the schedule, so choose recipes that will fit into your day. If you have a busy morning, a sweet gesture of breakfast will go a long way, but you don’t have to spend too much time making it. Pancakes are quick, or make-ahead bakes that are hassle-free.
• Don’t forget the toppings! Add some homemade goodness to your waffles, pancakes, crepes, or french toast with some of these topping ideas:
  • Strawberry Sauce
  • Easy Whipped Cream
  • Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
  • Crunchy Granola

Best Valentine’s Day breakfast recipes
