30 Best Valentine's Day Breakfast Ideas for the Most Romantic Morning (1)

A thoughtful Valentine’s Day dinner can be a great excuse to pull out all the stops, from prepping indulgent entrées to choosing the perfect mood music. But for some of us, there’s nothing more romantic than pancakes and waffles (or doughnuts, or bacon and eggs). So, breakfast people: We see you, and we've rounded up some our favorite Valentine’s Day breakfast ideas to help you kick the holiday off right.

From simple but satisfying egg toasts to playful heart-shaped foods, we’ve covered all the breakfast bases. Maybe your partner has a sweet tooth — fry them up some French toast or a Dutch Baby for a delicious Valentine's Day treat. If they lean savory, we’ve got every egg dish they could possibly want, from Mexican-inspired migas to a cheesy breakfast pie. We also included some crowd-friendly options for families, as well as a few quick and easy breakfast ideas in case you don’t have time in the morning. Bonus: We included a Valentine's Day mimosa recipe (swap the champagne for sparkling water for any revelers under 21).

Want to make your morning even more meaningful? Serve these breakfast ideas in a kitchen full of Valentine's Day decorations. You can also keep the romance going all day with our best Valentine's Day recipes.
