Because there’s nothing more luxurious than digging into some freshly baked pastries and perfect poached eggs from the comfort of your own bed.

Wondering where to start? Find some inspiration with our Valentine’s breakfast ideas below – we guarantee that you’ll fall in love.

Disclaimer: These romantic breakfast ideas are best served in bed, with a side of comfy duvet and trashy TV.

Heart-shaped French Toast

We’re starting off our Valentine’s Day breakfast ideas with a real showstopper. Anything French is sure to be romantic, right? Paris is the city of love – and this romantic breakfast in bed is your love language. So spruce up your regular recipe by cutting round the edges of the bread to form a heart shape – just like that, you have a delicious Valentine’s breakfast in the making. But why stop there? Get creative and carve out the scraps into fun shapes. Once you’ve prepared your bread, simply coat in an eggy mixture and fry. For sweet French toast, add vanilla, cinnamon and all-spice. For something with a little extra kick, throw in some harissa paste.

Eggs Benedict

The sophistication of eggs benedict means that it doesn’t need to be changed too much, if at all, to qualify as a romantic breakfast idea. Poach your eggs, place them on top of your lightly toasted (and bacon topped) muffin, then simply douse in hollandaise sauce. If you have to mix things up, why not add asparagus for a savoury twist? Or you could replace the English muffin with brioche for a slightly sweeter Valentine’s breakfast! Either way, this is a romantic breakfast in bed that’s sure to impress.

Pancake Kebabs

A great Valentine’s Day breakfast for those seeking something quick and easy, while still looking to impress. Pancake kebabs are tasty and romantic all at once. Simply combine warm American-style pancakes with strawberries, blueberries and any other fruit you desire – and then skewer. You can then drizzle with syrup, melted chocolate or honey, or simply leave as is. Using smaller pieces of (heart-shaped!) pancake works well and makes your romantic breakfast a tad easier to tackle. Simply make them small if you’re doing them from scratch or use a cookie cutter to get the right size.

Homemade Granola

The best romantic breakfast ideas are the ones that you can customise for your Valentine – and granola is great for this. Combine rolled oats, pecans and any other nuts of your choice with honey, seeds, puffed rice and chocolate curls, and bake the night before. Come Valentine’s Day morning, simply break it all up and top with milk and berries. What better way to say I love you than with a pre-baked breakfast in bed? And what’s great about this Valentine’s Day breakfast is that it’s all made the night before – giving you that well-deserved lie in.

Stuffed Croissants

No Valentine’s breakfast ideas list would be complete without a nod to a pastry – and with croissants being the king of breakfast pastries, they’re a great way to surprise your loved one with a romantic breakfast in bed. Cut in half lengthways before placing in the oven to heat and crisp up. Once done, go savoury by adding scrambled eggs, bacon and cheese, or make it a sweet treat by adding tantalising strawberries and cream!
