Father’s Day is just around the corner, and there is no better to treat your father than a delicious breakfast in bed. As we all know, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. In this article, we will be talking about some lip-smacking breakfast recipes for Father’s Day.
Father’s Day 2024 Breakfast Ideas
1. Fried Sugar Donuts:
What better way to start a special day with something sweet? I can assure you that donuts are the best sweet breakfast. Serve them fresh and warm, and your dad will remember them all day long.
2. Egg sandwiches with tomato jam:
This is a simple and quick recipe. If you are always in a hurry but still wish to do something special for your father, make some egg sandwiches and make a thick yet flavourful tomato sauce, and call it jam to sound extra fancy.
3. Steak:
I know steak is a dish for dinner time, but a little steak for breakfast won’t hurt. Steak is a certified dad-favourite. If your father doesn’t eat steak, cook some chicken, paneer or tofu with the same technique and you will have yourself an elegant breakfast.
4. Egg tarts:
Egg tarts are another simple yet fun breakfast option. Eggs are so versatile and can be prepared in various ways. Just crack some eggs in a cupcake tray, add some leafy herbs and spices, and put them in the oven after mixing them. There you have it, cute mini egg tarts to steal your father’s heart!
5. Croissants:
The recipe for croissants is a little complicated. So if you are a baking expert and have time on your hands, you should make this for Father’s Day morning. You can customise your croissants as well; with different shapes and different flavours. Get your mittens on, because it’s time for some croissants!
6. Cheesy Omelette:
Another egg recipe, and this time it is a yummy, cheesy omelette. Not only is it delicious but it also manages to keep one full for a long time. Honestly, omelettes are a timeless breakfast. Add cheese and your father’s favourite veggies for the ultimate breakfast.
7. Muffins:
Muffins are the perfect dish for fathers who are always in a rush. There are many muffin options – from chocolate chip to blueberry. Surprise your father with a fresh, hot muffin as he is about to leave for work.
8. Pancakes:
Who doesn’t love pancakes? Because my father surely does, and I’m sure that many fathers out there do too! Pancakes are easy to make and get ready in no time. Not only that but pancakes can be made in diverse ways. Add chocolate chips, peanut butter or Nutella – whatever your father likes the most. Stack them up, add some syrup of your choice, and light a candle right in the middle. Your father will be joyful blowing the candle on his special day!
9. Hot chocolate:
This one is not a food, but trust me, it shines brighter than many breakfast foods. Hot chocolate is the most warming, comforting drink of all time. It brings back memories from childhood in a way that nothing ever can. Prepare some hot chocolate for your father on the morning of Father’s Day and he will fall into a nostalgic bliss. If your father is someone who needs caffeine in the morning, add some coffee while preparing your hot chocolate. Trust me, it will taste just as delicious.
10. Yoghurt and Granola:
I know this might seem like an underwhelming option, but if you are a working father-daughter duo who are workaholics, some granola and yoghurt are perfect. It is more about the effort that you put in than the action itself. Your father will cherish this gesture for a long time.
11. Banana Bread:
This is easily one of the most lip-smacking baked breakfasts. It might be time-consuming to make, but the taste makes it so worth it. Put a candle in the middle and add some ice cream on top. I know, ice cream for breakfast sounds absurd, but all is excused for Father’s Day!
12. Waffles:
Another easy but flavourful breakfast. If you are super busy all the time, you can also get store-bought waffles (nobody has to know ;)). They will do the job, but homemade waffles just have a different essence to them. Plate your waffles nicely with a lot of fruits, some whipped cream and chocolate sauce. This sweet delight will surely win your father’s heart.
13. A unique salad:
A salad must be sounding so boring after all the flavourful dishes we just talked about. Truth is, not all fathers like a heavy breakfast. Some health-obsessed fathers would prefer a light, refreshing salad first thing in the morning as compared to muffins or pancakes. Get some fresh veggies, a fancy cheese, a delicious dressing – that’s all the ingredients you need for a refreshing salad.
14. Cinnamon Rolls:
Who doesn’t love a warm, gooey cinnamon roll? It is delightful and not too sweet, the perfect bakery item when it comes to breakfast. You will have to wake up a little early to prepare them, but the look on your father’s face once he takes a bite will make your efforts worth it. You can put a candle between a cinnamon roll too, making it fun and perfect for the occasion.
15. Avocado Toast:
This one is for all the fancy dads out there. Avocados are not easily available in India, but if you manage to get your hands on some, make some guacamole and put it on a toasted piece of sourdough bread. There you have it! Simple yet unique and still truly scrumptious!
I am sure that your mouth must be watering going through this list because mine is. Enjoy these breakfasts with your fathers and create memories for a lifetime!
