Red is the color of romance, of course, but it is also the color of sweet, delicious strawberries. These garnet-colored fruits are the perfect complement to delicate crepes. Folded inside, along with luscious whipped cream, they provide a burst of fruit and a pop of romantic color. "My husband ran out of adjectives describing how wonderful they were," Allrecipes user ReginaRae says of her romantic crepes-capade.

Sometimes, the romance is all in the presentation. That much is true for these adorable apple roses, which are baked into puff pastry like tiny, perfect apple pies.

Honeymoon Eggs Benedict

What if, instead of eating your eggs Benedict atop English muffins, you ate them atop buttery, flaky croissants? That's the concept behind these "honeymoon" eggs, which also add delicate spears of asparagus and grated Asiago to the mix. It feels like an occasion dish. "We will definitely make this special recipe again," Allrecipes user Howard says.

Waffles in the shape of hearts? Heart-sliced strawberries as a garnish? Can breakfast even be more romantic? Heart-shaped waffles are a Scandinavian tradition, it turns out, and this breakfast — festooned with fresh berries and whipped cream — is a sweet and simple reminder of how dreamy breakfast can be. "I will forever put cardamom in my waffle batter," amroberts81 says of this subtly spiced treat.

Strawberry Bellini

A romantic breakfast can come in liquid form, too. If the bellini — a bubbly drink made of sparkling wine and peach purée — is too basic for your morning in, dress up date day with this strawberry version, which is lovers' pink. "Delightful," raves Allrecipes user Tonya Angwin.

Easy to make, easy to enjoy, and easy to toast up as leftovers are three qualities you'll want in a romantic breakfast dish. This chocolate banana bread, thankfully, is all three. Unsweetened cocoa powder provides a rich, chocolatey base, while sour cream keeps the bread incredibly moist. "Try it… you won’t regret it," says BON8017.

Sure, French toast is plenty special, but if you really want to impress your S.O., dress up those slices of custardy bread with bits of crisp-crunchy almond and a dusting of confectioners' sugar. "It is a nice twist to the traditional breakfast dish, and makes a nice addition to any brunch. ... Serve with fresh fruit, fruit preserves, or warm maple syrup," suggests ISSA,the recipe's creator.

Breakfast Pita Pizza

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Pizza for breakfast is always a good idea, especially when you're sharing it with someone you love. This recipe makes two servings, so you two can get the table and the meal to yourselves. But this recipe also holds up even after date time has passed. Make this pizza on a regular old weekend morning for something a little different. "Excellent idea for a Sunday morning breakfast," M J says.

Asparagus Quiche

It's as beautiful as it is delicious. Spears of asparagus add a hint of crunch to the rich, custard-like filling of this quiche. Flaky, buttery crust acts as a toothsome delight, and everything comes together into a rich breakfast treat. One way to add a bit more pizzazz? "Since I love the taste of roasted vegetables, I roasted the asparagus, along with some red onion and garlic, before adding to the egg mixture. Really gave a great recipe an extra depth of flavor," suggests NJMLAW.

For a little vegan breakfast romance, all you need is some very good bread and an avocado. Hearty, healthy, and super satisfying, avocado toast is the breakfast of the new decade — and that makes it perfect for sharing with your preferred dining companion. Plus, the smashing and spreading of the avocado rings a bit sultry, no? For a little non-vegan fun, you can follow Allrecipes user Chef V’s lead. "Topped mine with an egg for a complete meal," he says.
