I love surprising my kids with fun, healthy, and cute breakfasts for holidays like Valentine's Day! A heart-shaped breakfast is an easy way to say "I love you." It's a hit at my house every Valentine's Day -- and it's easy to make. Here are two ways to surprise your family with a Valentine-inspired breakfast:
Heart-shaped scrambled eggs and toast
Serves 2
What you need:
- 4 eggs
- 4 slices of bread
- Heart-shaped sprinkles
Directions:
- Scramble the eggs in a pan over medium heat. (I let them cook, then flip omelet style so they're flat).
- Lightly toast and butter the bread, then cut into a heart shape by cutting the bottom corners off at an angle. Set aside.
- When the eggs are done, remove from the stove and cut four hearts out with the cookie cutter.
- Plate the eggs and toast and serve with a few heart-shaped sprinkles for a cute pop of color!

Eggs Inside the Heart Toast
Serves 2
What you need:
- 4 eggs
- 4 slices of bread
- Heart-shaped sprinkles
- Heart-shaped cookie cutter
Directions:
- Butter both sides of the bread and then cut a heart shape out with the cookie cutter.
- Place the bread in the pan and drop an egg into the heart-shaped hole.
- Let the egg cook and brown the bread on the first side, then flip to cook the other side.
- Plate so that the side with the best looking heart is up and include a few heart-shaped sprinkles for a fun pop of color!
