How to Cook a Romantic Breakfast for Two

Cooking a romantic breakfast for two can be a great way to spice up your relationship.

Surprising your significant other with a home cooked meal is a tried-and-true romantic idea. Cooking a romantic breakfast for your significant other to wake up to may be an even more effective way to spice up your relationship. Whipping up your partner's favorite breakfast is the best way to make a truly romantic breakfast. Cooking a romantic breakfast for two requires planning, quick and quiet execution and an eye for detail.

Things You'll Need

• Ingredients
• Tablecloth
• Flowers
• Vase
• Knife
• Silverware
• China
• Glassware
• Champagne

Instructions

1. Write down your partner's favorite breakfast foods. Try to come up with a main dish, such as fresh waffles, steel-cut oatmeal and berries, or eggs benedict, in addition to several side dishes. Romantic sides can include chocolate-dipped strawberries, heart-shaped hash browns, or a colorful fruit salad. Write down the ingredients that you need to make this breakfast.

2. Buy all of your ingredients from your local grocer. Remember to pick up your partner's favorite juice or coffee, too. Buy flowers from your local florist.

3. Wake up an hour before your partner usually gets out of bed. Set up the table while your partner is still asleep. Use a plain white tablecloth and set the table using fine silverware, china and glassware. Remember to trim the flowers and put them in a vase on the breakfast table.

4. Cook your planned breakfast meal as quietly as possible. Bring cold foods to the table as soon as they're finished. Cook hot foods last. When the hot foods are finished, bring them to the table and prepare your partner's plate.

5. Brew a pot of coffee if your partner likes coffee. If not, pour a glass of juice or other breakfast drink. A mimosa, a mix of equal parts orange juice and champagne, is a romantic breakfast drink.

6. Wake up your partner, come back downstairs and eat your romantic breakfast for two.

Tips & Warnings

• Prepare cold foods such as fruits and vegetables the night before to save time. Store them in a refrigerator overnight to preserve freshness.

• Don'tt make too much noise while setting up your romantic breakfast. You might wake your partner and spoil the surprise.
