Breakfast in Bed: From Classic to Fancy Breakfast Ideas

1. Classic French Toast

What better way to start this list than with a classic recipe for breakfast in bed: French toast.

It’s crisp and fluffy at the same time, versatile in terms of how you want to flavor it, and starts the day on a sweet note. It’s also one of the more easy breakfast ideas since most of the ingredients are already in your pantry, but it’s the epitome of a classic breakfast that never fails to impress.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

  • 8 bread slices, thick cut preferred
  • 2 to 4 eggs
  • 3/4 cups milk
  • Butter
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Directions

  1. In a bowl, beat the eggs and stir in your milk.
  2. Season the mixture with salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
  3. Heat the pan over low heat.
  4. Add your butter.
  5. Dip a slice of bread into the bowl mixture. Shake off the excess.
  6. Fry the dipped bread in the butter for a minute or two until it turns golden brown.
  7. Flip the bread and fry until it begins to look golden brown.
  8. Remove from the pan and cool.
  9. Repeat for the rest of the bread slices.

Tips

  • To make this good breakfast recipe even more aromatic and flavorful, add some vanilla to the milk batter.
  • This recipe for breakfast in bed is already delicious on its own. You can, however, add more sweetness with applesauce, syrup, or honey.
  • You may also sprinkle on some confectioner’s sugar.

What is confectioner’s sugar? It is granulated sugar milled to become powder. Another name for it is icing sugar.

Variation: Oven-Baked French Toast

Here’s one of the more game-changing breakfast ideas: Don’t fry the bread—bake it! You’ll find it less greasy since butter becomes optional.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

  • 8 bread slices, preferably thick
  • 2 to 4 eggs
  • 3/4 cups milk
  • Salt to taste
  • Butter (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Directions

  1. In a deep pan, beat the eggs and add cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  2. Layer the bread slices on top and leave it for about a minute. Turn them over until they absorb the mixture.
  3. Preheat the oven at 500°F.
  4. In a separate baking sheet, spray oil or smear some butter.
  5. Layer the dipped bread slices.
  6. Bake them for at least six minutes.

2. Matcha Bowl with Fruits

Breakfast in bed can also be both appetizing and healthy. One of the simple breakfast ideas that fit such a description is a matcha bowl with fruits.

This one contains matcha, which offers powerful antioxidants. You will also use yogurt, which is excellent for gut health.

Even better, as one of the more easy breakfast ideas, it doesn’t require any cooking or baking.

Ingredients (Serves 2)

  • 1 tablespoon matcha powder
  • 2 teaspoon maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 small cup of yogurt
  • Fruit of your choice
  • Almond slivers or coconut flakes for topping

Directions

  1. In a deep bowl, combine matcha powder, maple syrup or honey, and yogurt. Mix thoroughly until the combination is evenly blended.
  2. Get two smaller bowls and divide the mixture evenly between them.
  3. Top the bowls with slices of your favorite fruit.
  4. Before serving, sprinkle with almond slivers or coconut flakes.

3. Bacon Pancakes

Seriously, can we ever talk about breakfast in bed without the staples?

Pancakes and bacon always make scrumptious breakfast food ideas. What makes this recipe better, though, is you can make them into this classic brunch food and bake them in batches.

Ingredients (Serves 4, 2 pancakes each)

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
  • Unsalted melted butter
  • 1 egg (large)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 6 bacon strips, diced

Directions

  1. Get two mixing bowls. In one bowl, combine all the dry ingredients except for the bacon strips.
  2. In another bowl, mix all the liquids, including the melted butter. Then slowly pour the dry mixture into the liquid, stirring gently to prevent clumps.
  3. Fry the diced bacon in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Don’t add any oil but allow the strips to render fat.
  4. Once the bacon turns golden brown, remove it from the heat. Put the bacon strips on a kitchen towel to absorb excess fat.
  5. On the same skillet and over medium heat, make your pancakes. Scoop the mixture and then top with diced bacon.
  6. Flip it to cook the other side.

Tips

  • You can keep the rendered fat and use it to flavor salads or soups.
  • You can make this into one of the healthy recipes for breakfast in bed by swapping all-purpose flour with something that’s gluten-free. Look for flours that have a 1:1 substitution ratio.

4. Egg Clouds

[instagram url=https://www.instagram.com/p/B6Lj_vLlfsy/ hidecaption=true width=625]

Many simple breakfast recipes call for eggs, but simplicity doesn’t mean easy or unimpressive all the time. A good example is egg clouds.

Egg clouds can be tricky, especially if you can’t separate the yolk and white properly. The temperature of the oven and the duration of baking can also matter.

Once you get the hang of it, though, you and your partner can enjoy a fancy breakfast in bed.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

  • 4 eggs (large)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

  • Preheat the oven 350°F.
  • Break the eggs and separate the yolks from the whites carefully. Place the whites in a bowl and the yolks in separate containers.
  • Add salt and pepper to the whites. Beat the egg white with an electric mixer operating at low speed.
  • Beat for about two minutes or until stiff peaks form.
  • Use your nonstick cooking spray on a flat baking sheet.
  • Dollop or scoop your beaten egg whites, forming them into circles.
  • Using the back of your spoon, create a well or depression (not a hole) at the center of each circle.
  • Bake for at least six minutes or until you can see hints of brown on the whites.
  • In each well, place an egg yolk. Bake again for about three minutes.

Tips

  • Serve with toasted or savory bread and top with some chives. Pair the toast with some slices of avocado for a healthy meal.
  • You can also eat this with fried bacon, ham, and a selection of cheeses for an early-morning grazing platter.

5. Frittatas

[instagram url=https://www.instagram.com/p/BwHSGRGBjpy/ hidecaption=true width=625]

Do you find the egg cloud recipe a little too challenging to make first thing in the morning? If you still want to serve eggs, then a solid breakfast idea is frittatas.

The nice thing about it is you can come up with different combinations, from cheese mixes to leftover deli meats. To make it healthier, you can sprinkle in chopped veggies like tomatoes and spinach.

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons milk or full-fat dairy
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Add-ins of your choice
  • Grated cheese (optional)

Directions

  • In a bowl, beat the eggs. Combine the egg yolks and the whites properly. Beat in milk.
  • In a separate bowl, toss together your other ingredients.
  • Pour egg mixture into your add-ins.
  • Preheat the oven at 425°F.
  • Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat and pour the egg mixture.
  • Sprinkle salt and top with cheese.
  • Move the skillet into the oven after a minute or when the edges of the egg turn light brown.
  • Bake for around 15 minutes or until the center of the egg jiggles when you gently shake the skillet.

Tips

  • You can use muffin pans to create bite-sized frittatas. Just preheat the oven at 325°F.
  • To avoid a mushy egg, precook your veggies.
