Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and you’re still scratching your head. Flowers and chocolates? Fancy dinner reservations? Fine jewelry? What about keeping it simple? Sometimes, it really is the thought that counts. Try something simple, sweet, and romantic this year – breakfast in bed (fireside, of course). We’ve got you covered with these delicious Valentine’s Day breakfast recipes.Â
And, since we are Ottawa’s BBQ experts, we’re sharing grill-friendly recipes. Yes, that’s right. You can cook the recipes below on any pellet or charcoal grill, such as the Napoleon charcoal grill or the Big Green Egg original kit.
There’s nothing more luxurious than waking up on Valentine’s Day, only to be brought a tray of delicious food and coffee. Your partner can sit back and enjoy their favourite breakfast in the soft, warm sheets of their bed. Make it extra romantic by adding a small bouquet of flowers or rose petals to your tray.Â
We all know two types of people: sweet and savoury. Here are some tasty recipes for those who crave a sugar rush first thing in the morning.Â
You can’t go wrong with a classic like pancakes – but these come with a twist. Inspired by Japanese hotcakes, these pancakes are made by pouring the batter into a ring mould. The effect is almost like a pancake cake – perfect for anyone whose inner child craves pancakes regularly.Â
Have you ever baked french toast on your grill? What about a french toast ‘casserole’? If you answered ‘no,’ now is the time to try. This no-fuss method of cooking french toast is as tasty as it is easy. Â

These Valentine’s Day breakfast recipes are for those who don’t have a sweet tooth and love breakfasts full of protein.Â
Rich and decadent eggs benedict is such a treat; it’s ideal for your honey’s breakfast in bed. Many shy away from hollandaise sauce because it can be tricky to master. Pro tip: the most common way hollandaise sauce fails is because the temperature is too high or heated too quickly.
This breakfast burger is made with eggs, smoky bacon, a homemade patty, and a blackberry spread. Yum! Maybe a little messy to eat in bed – but sheets are washable.Â
This classic breakfast recipe walks you through cooking the basics – bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, and avocado. Add in some baked beans or fresh fruit, and you’ve got a whole spread.
A Croque Madame is a traditional french sandwich, and it’s typically not grilled – but around here, we think grilling proves almost any dish. Almost like a typical fried ham-and-cheese sandwich, but with the added luxury of bechamel sauce, and a fried egg on top, this breakfast sandwich is perfect for a special occasion.Â
You can finally have your favourite meal in breakfast format for all the pizza lovers. While egg on your pizza might sound odd, it’s a popular pizza topping in many European countries like France, Italy, and Hungary. Try it out!
There’s nothing quite like that smoky flavour achieved with your grill. You can smoke with any type of grill, whether you’ve got a gas grill, pellet grill, or charcoal grill.
Smoke oatmeal? Well, why not! Smoke your oatmeal over cherry hardwood, or another fragrant wood of your choice, for that extra depth of flavour. Honestly, you might never be able to go back to your regular bowl of oatmeal.Â
Does your partner love bacon (well, who doesn’t)? If so, give them the gift of delicious, home-smoked bacon. It’s easy peasy! It just takes five days to allow your bacon to cure.
Is there anything more opulent than smoked salmon? Probably, but smoked salmon automatically feels like a special treat. If you’ve got the time to let your salmon marinate for 24 hours, give this smoked salmon a go, and pair it with your partner’s favourite bagel, cream cheese, onions, and capers. Splendid.
This bite-sized breakfast is as tasty as it is aesthetically pleasing. Get your muffin rack, and fill it with jalapenos, eggs, bacon, aromatics and veggies, and you’ve got an ideal breakfast-in-bed recipe.
