My husband loves to have this served with fresh avocados sliced and served on the side. I love some extra green chives.

Homemade cinnamon rolls swirled with layers of warm cinnamon sugar are the perfect way to kick off any holiday. If homemade cinnamon rolls seem too time-consuming, you can always make canned air fryer cinnamon rolls, and no one will be any the wiser.

Make your quiche in advance and refrigerate or freeze the slices, then reheat on Valentine's morning for an easy breakfast ready to heat and eat.
16. Mushroom Swiss Omelet

Breakfast sandwiches are completely customizable, so you can swap the fillings with your partner's favorites. There's crispy bacon, savory breakfast sausage, or how about Canadian bacon? The possibilities are endless.
20. Strawberries & Cream Scones
There's no better way to start Valentine's Day than freshly baked strawberries and cream scones. Each scone is generously studded with succulent chunks of fresh strawberries and a drizzle of sweet vanilla icing for donuts for the perfect morning treat.
21. Sheet Pan Pancakes
Fluffy homemade pancakes, but instead of flipping them in a skillet, you bake them as one giant pancake in a sheet pan. Then you slice that jumbo pancake into squares, making you wonder why we were ever flipping pancakes in the first place.
Set out an assortment of pancake toppings for a build-your-own-pancake breakfast.
22. Baked Eggs
Not only are baked eggs incredibly easy to make, but if you choose a decorative ramekin, they will add an air of elegance to your breakfast spread. A sprinkle of Parmesan and fresh thyme on top is perfection.
23. Country Fried Prime Rib
Country fried prime rib is the elevated version of the Southern breakfast classic chicken fried steak. White country gravy is a must and tastes amazing on eggs or hash browns.
Try my prime rib eggs benedict for another amazing leftover breakfast recipe perfect for treating your sweetheart to this Valentine's.
24. Hash Brown Egg Cups
Grab some frozen and thawed hash browns, eggs, and a muffin pan for these super easy hash brown egg cups. You can pick them up and eat them in 2 to 3 bites, making them a great option if you want to serve your sweetheart breakfast in bed.
25. Cathead Biscuits
These jumbo fluffy biscuits are an excellent addition to any breakfast. You can slice and slather them in butter or jam or add eggs, bacon, or sausage to make a biscuit breakfast sandwich.
26. Homemade Waffles
A big batch of fluffy homemade waffles always hits the spot and they are completely customizable with your favorite waffle toppings. I liked adding some sweet roasted berries or homemade blueberry syrup, or you could top them with fresh fruit.

These easy cake donuts can be made at home and have the most amazing lemon and raspberry flavor. A simple lemon glaze tops them off for a sweet yet tangy treat that is hard to resist.
💭 Tips For Choosing The Best Breakfast Recipes For Valentine's Day
Creating a special Valentine's Day breakfast is a labor of love, so don't stress yourself out because it truly is the thought that counts. Here are some tips to help make planning your breakfast menu a little easier and get some romance in the air faster:
- Heart-shaped foods. You can use heart-shaped molds or cookie cutters for pancakes, eggs, and toast. It's an easy way to take regular foods and make them on-theme.
- Fresh berries. Incorporate fresh berries like strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries for a burst of color and sweetness.
- Chocolate treats. Chocolate is a classic Valentine's Day flavor. It's the perfect day to indulge in rich chocolate pancakes or a slice of double chocolate banana bread with breakfast. See all of my chocolate Valentine's Day desserts here.
- Champagne or mimosa. If your partner enjoys alcoholic beverages, serve champagne or mimosas to add a touch of elegance to your Valentine's Day breakfast. Mimosa mocktails are always tasty, too, and then the kids can partake.
- Customized breakfast. Incorporating your partner's favorite breakfast foods into the meal shows thoughtfulness and consideration.
❓ What Are Some Popular Valentine's Day Breakfast Ingredients?
Fresh fruit and berries like strawberries, raspberries, and cherries can add a pop of pink/red color that fits the Valentine's theme. It's also the perfect opportunity to include rich chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and other sweet treats or confections.
❓What Are The Best Recipes For A Valentine's Day Breakfast In Bed?
Breakfast in bed is a thoughtful way to celebrate your partner for Valentine's Day but runny eggs are messy to eat in bed. Instead, opt for Overnight oats with yogurt, strawberry yogurt muffins, or a breakfast sandwich. A glass of their favorite coffee, tea, or juice won't hurt, either.

27 Best Valentine's Day Breakfast Recipes: Ideas For A Romantic Morning Meal!
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon butter (melted)
- 10 cinnamon rolls (Baked Grands cinnamon rolls, or 2 tubes of refrigerated cinnamon rolls, unbaked)
- 4 large eggs (room temperature)
- ½ cup heavy cream (or half & half, or whole milk)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- icing (from the cinnamon roll tubes)
(Note: 2x or 3x only changes the ingredient list)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and pour the melted butter into a 9x13 baking dish. Spread it evenly along the bottom of the dish.
- Use a pizza cutter or kitchen scissors to cut each cinnamon roll (baked or unbaked) into 8 small pieces. Spread the pieces of cinnamon rolls out in an even layer on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Add the eggs, cream, vanilla, cinnamon, and pinch of salt to a mixing bowl and whisk until the egg has been fully combined. Pour the mixture over the cinnamon rolls, coating every piece as evenly as possible. Drizzle the maple syrup on top.
- Bakeat 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes (20-25 if using unbaked cinnamon rolls). If using raw cinnamon rolls, they will be golden-brown when ready.
- Remove your cinnamon roll casserole from the oven. Pour the icing from the tube of cinnamon rolls into a microwave-safe bowl and heat it for for 10-15 seconds so it is easier to drizzle. Drizzle the icing evenly over the casserole, slice, and serve.
Notes
- If you do not have the icing from the cinnamon roll tubes, you can make a quick vanilla icing with powdered sugar.
- Using storebought cinnamon rolls is incredibly convenient, but if you like making things from scratch, this casserole would be delicious with homemade cinnamon rolls.
- You can assemble this casserole up to 24 hours in advance. Assemble the casserole as directed, do not bake, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Bake cold, but add 5 minutes to the total time. *This gives the cinnamon rolls extra time to absorb all of the egg mixture.
- To store: Once cool, place your casserole in an airtight container or cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for up to 4 days.
- To reheat: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or until heated through. Individual portions may be microwaved.
