Valentine's Day is known for a romantic dinner, some red wine, and a killer dessert. Yet, morning is also a great way to feature some Valentine's Day-themed recipes and dishes, as it will start the day off on a cute, romantic note with your S.O. that will carry on over into the next couple of hours.

There are several ways to create a fun twist on breakfast foods with romantic aspects, says Cedric Harden, executive chef at River Roast in Chicago. “Try making a heart shaped toad in a hole, an assortment of pink/red berries, cut watermelon and strawberries into heart shapes or make heart shaped cinnamon rolls, red velvet pancakes with cream cheese icing, homemade chocolate waffles with strawberries and whipped cream, and even heart shaped bacon,” says Harden.

French toast screams, "I love you, so I made an extravagant breakfast for you" since it can take some time. Plus, it looks super fancy on the plate, along with that fresh fruit and dusted powdered sugar and syrup. Yet, for V-Day, you should take it up a notch by taking a cooker cutter to cut out hearts from the brioche toast. This will make cute mini heart portions.

This gooey, warm blueberry and raspberry topping is fruity and delicious, and it seems awfully romantic for the special morning. Use it on pancakes, French toast, and crepes to spruce them up (with some whipped cream, too!), and even save the mixture to pair with other things, like chilling and tossing in Prosecco later at night or to spread over ice cream or chocolate cake for dessert. If you have a busy morning, make the pancakes the night before and toast them while this mixture simmers.

If your significant other prefers savory things to the sweet ones, surprise and delight them on Valentine's Day morning with this savory bread pudding. "My husband loves Eggs Benedict and he rates this as a keeper," Dawn says.

Your mom may have made smiley faces and people as shapes for your weekend pancakes when you were growing up, but now that you're the cook, you may be sticking to plain old rounds more than you'd like to admit. But V-Day is reason to turn those rounds in heart, and stuff them with chocolate chips or lather on chocolate sauce for sweetness. You can top with powdered sugar and fresh fruit, too. (Or bacon!)
