This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at UCF chapter.

We all have (or wish we had) those days where we wake up in the morning and want to surprise the heck outta our significant other by making a cute, extravagant breakfast that you can brag about on social media. However, there always seems to be a great amount of effort that goes along with making those breakfasts in bed, and that’s a lot of work for just waking up. Thankfully, we’ve compiled some super easy recipes that are just as impressive as anything that would take twice as long.

And hey, these recipes are perfect even if you’re #singleAF – there’s nothing like being able to enjoy another serving of breakfast for yourself.

Get the same flavor of a deli sandwich without the insane price. Savory oatmeal is now super trendy, and with sautéed leeks and melty cheese, you’ll happily jump on that bandwagon.

9. Breakfast Nachos

Here’s to finding new ways to eat waffles. The only major thing you have to do is fry some eggs and bacon, which are likely in your basic cooking skill set – but you can always leave your boo to do that if you’re too lazy. Everything else is mere chopping and plating, but that’s the fun part, right?

10. Tater Tot Breakfast Pizza

If you just spent the night prior partying, or you could really use something heavy and greasy, this is for you. You can even make it über semi-homemade by using pre-cooked bacon, giving you more cuddle time in bed.

11. Mini Quiche Muffins

Quiches are prized for the fact that you can throw pretty much anything you have (including your leftovers that you probably should’ve thrown out a few days ago) and they can still taste pretty good. This recipe uses the basic onion, spinach, tomato, and cheddar combo, but toss in whatever your quiche-y heart desires.

12. Breakfast Quesadilla

This quesadilla is perfect if you want your melted cheese fix ASAP and can’t wait till lunch. Serve with some fresh salsa or pico de gallo for an extra spicy start to your day.

13. Peanut Butter Bacon Sandwiches

What better person is there to venture out and try uncommon combos like this than your significant other? Nutty and salty notes fuse together to form a sacred sandwich like no other.

14. Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Waffle Sandwich

Drench this baby in maple syrup for a sandwich that requires a spoon and fork to eat – not that there’s any problem with that. It’s just as effective with only cheese in the middle.

15. Nutella Strawberry French Toast Roll-Up

You didn’t think I’d actually leave out Nutella, did you? Each of these rolls are coated in cinnamon, adding a spicy flair to the favorite chocolate hazelnut spread. This is what your breakfast dreams are made of.
