Valentine's Day Breakfast Ideas

Valentine's Day falls during the week this year so why not celebrate a bit early this weekend with a fabulous breakfast?

These recipes are easy… most can be prepped ahead… and oh so good…. peruse the list and see what fits in your time and budget… for a list of even more ideas… see the Recipe Index under Breakfast and Brunch

Whether You’re Making Breakfast for Two or For a Family – Make it Special!


Warm Blueberry Crumb Muffins with a small fruit salad with Yogurt Sauce or maybe some scrambled eggs…and for the adults ….finish with a specialty coffee … Tia Maria and Coffee is so warm and soothing… perfect with a light breakfast of muffins…a terrific easy breakfast…for other muffin recipes see the Recipe and Tip Index under Muffins…



Breakfast Bruschetta with Mascarpone and Blueberries… all I can say is easy and yummmmm… absolutely delicious… add scrambled eggs and you have yourself a great breakfast!





Cheddar and Chive Eggs with a Cheese Sauce….put them in a baked pastry shell or a crepe… quick easy and foolproof…and oh so delicious!






Eggs Benedict – terrific poached eggs on an English muffin with luscious Hollandaise Sauce over it…





Omelets are a wonderful choice for two…. they work really well when you make them for two people… making them for a family doesn’t usually work as well someone always ends up waiting for theirs while others have to start eating theirs before it gets cold. Use two pans at once or make one and put on a oven save plate and cover it with foil …. Put it in a warm oven while you make the second omelet…

Make each omelet with whatever ingredients each of you prefer…. See the Recipe and Tip Index under Breakfasts and Brunch




Serve them with Home Fries and a slice of cantaloupe …. Perfect!





Hash Brown Nests and Eggs… you can make a bunch or a few … they look so good… kid’s love them!







Frittatas are terrific to make…. quick and easy…. assemble it and bake it… make them mini sized or regular sized and cut wedges… serve with toast or breakfast potatoes… See the Index under Breakfast and Brunch for a list of wonderful kinds of frittatas you can make.

Breakfast Casseroles are great for serving a family… everyone loves them and they’re easy… some terrific choices are:

Crepes… crepes always are terrific… make them ahead… separate them with waxed paper and cover them tightly with plastic wrap…..fill them with whatever you want… so easy! See the Index under Crepes for a list of Crepe Recipes






Waffles are always good… make them plain with syrup or get a little fancy and make Bananas Foster Waffles (I have a non-alcohol version too)… or maybe Peach Melba Waffles…. Don’t forget to check my Waffle Making Tips.




Pancakes…. everybody loves pancakes… make ‘em plain, or with Blueberries… Apples or Bananas… they’re always a hit.





Chocolate French Toast…. no listing would be complete without French Toast…. Chocolate French Toast is divine.. not a chocolate lover? Try a stuffed French Toast… Aloha Pineapple Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast or French Toast Stuffed with Blueberry Cream Cheese or try a French Toast Casserole... prepare it the night before and pop it in the oven in the morning... what could be simpler?


Bacon… add bacon to your breakfast…do it the easy way.. make the bacon in the oven! … quick and easy and hardly any clean-up.
