Fluffy French Toast

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 gooey, warm blueberry and raspberry topping is fruity and delicious. Use it on pancakes, French toast, and crepes (with some whipped cream, too!), and even save the mixture to pair with other things, like chilling and tossing in Prosecco or to spread over ice cream or chocolate cake for dessert.

Omelets are fun to make on a leisurely weekend morning, but if you’re looking to create an equally elegant breakfast for several people, this baked version fits the bill. “So easy and wonderful! Light & fluffy,” THEBACCHUS wrote, “I would put it on the higher rack in your oven to keep the bottom from browning so drastically.”

Stuff these crepes with red berries and whipped cream to pair with a mimosa or glass of Prosecco. Plus, these crepes are lighter than pancakes or waffles, so you won’t feel like you need a nap afterward.

"Contrary to popular belief, souffles are not very difficult, as long as you respect the laws of physics," writes recipe creator Chef John. "I hope you give this recipe a try, and also experiment with other vegetables. Broccoli, artichokes, leeks, spinach, or any other edible plant you can puree should work with the same basic procedure."
