20 Romantic & Delicious Valentine's Day Breakfast Recipes
Most of us can agree that the best way to start off Valentine's Day is with a delicious, homemade, and probably indulgent breakfast. Maybe it's breakfast in bed like in the movies, or maybe it's out on the patio, or perhaps just in the good ol' kitchen. Whatever it is, we all know that Valentine's Day provides the potential to eat adorable heart-shaped foods and savor the moment — even if we're our own valentines. It's also a great excuse to start off the day with something chocolaty. Yum.
A romantic Valentine's Day breakfast follows the old adage about how the best way to get to someone's heart is through their stomach. We can definitely vouch for that. Giving our significant others the gift of aromatic and sizzling bacon first thing in the morning is a gift that's hard to beat. What says true love more than cooking an entire spread for someone in the morning? It's a simple yet affectionate gesture — oh, and it's a delicious one, too.
So then the question remains: How can we whip up a romantic breakfast that will stand out against every other breakfast that we've ever cooked up? How do we scream "romance" with this meal?
We've gotcha covered. Just read ahead for 20 romantic Valentine's Day breakfast recipes and ideas.
