  • Valentine's Day brunch - Preparation step 1Pancakes:
    Mix the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
    Separate the yolks from the whites. Set the whites aside. Add the yolks and oil, then mix.
    Gradually add the milk while mixing to make a smooth batter. Let the batter rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
    Once the batter has rested, beat the egg whites until stiff, then fold them into the pancake batter. Mix well.

    Heat a frying pan over medium heat, grease it, and pour in a ladleful of pancake batter. When bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake, flip it and cook for another minute. Repeat until all the batter is used.

    Stack the pancakes on a plate and pour agave syrup (or maple syrup) over them.
  • Valentine's Day brunch - Preparation step 2Yogurt bowl:
    Put the equivalent of 1½ yogurt pots into a bowl. Arrange pieces of mango and kiwi slices on top. We couldn't resist cutting them into heart shapes with a knife ♥
    Do the same in the second bowl.
  • Valentine's Day brunch - Preparation step 3Scrambled eggs:
    In a bowl, mix the eggs with a pinch of salt, pepper, nutmeg, and a drizzle of olive oil. Pour the mixture into a pan over low heat. Stir regularly with a spatula. The eggs will begin to set. When they start to pull away from the bottom of the pan, remove them from the heat and put them in a shallow bowl to share with your loved one.
  • Valentine's Day brunch - Preparation step 4Avocado toast:
    Toast the slices of country-style bread. Meanwhile, carefully cut the avocado in half and remove the pit and skin, taking care to keep the flesh intact.
    Cut each avocado half lengthwise into slices and arrange them on the toast.
    If you won't be eating the toast right away, add a little lemon juice to the avocado to preserve its lovely green color.
    Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and sesame seeds.
  • Valentine's Day brunch - Preparation step 5Freshly squeezed orange juice:
    Using a citrus juicer, squeeze 3 oranges and pour the juice into a glass. Repeat with the remaining oranges.
  • Valentine's Day brunch - Preparation step 6While setting the table, don't forget to prepare a hot drink: coffee, tea, cappuccino, or hot chocolate—it's up to you.
    Enjoy, and above all, happy Valentine's Day!

FAQ ❓

What toppings should I use for my pancakes?

Here we used agave syrup, but we also love adding maple syrup. Otherwise, treat yourself to melted chocolate, jam, or chocolate spread.
Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. You can also put them in a freezer bag and freeze them.
Add a little milk to the mixture.
Cook them over low heat in a pan, using chopsticks to stir constantly and form small curds. Once they are just set, remove them from the heat so they don't stick to the pan or dry out.
We love adding a layer of smoked salmon or trout before arranging the avocado slices on top. If you like, add a soft-boiled or poached egg, too. The runny yolk is a delight when you cut into it!
Traditionally, this meal, which falls between breakfast and lunch, is eaten around 11 a.m. It's also common to enjoy it on Sundays, a day for relaxing and taking the time to sleep in. But there are no hard-and-fast rules, so enjoy brunch and prepare it for your loved one whenever you like!
Choose heart-shaped accessories to add some love to your brunch. For example, use cookie cutters to cut out shapes from your fruit and pancakes :-) Don't forget to pick up seasonal flowers, too—they'll look lovely on your table.
