How To: 11 Heart-Shaped Foods to Make on Valentine's Day for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner & Dessert

Starting towards the end of January, all you see is pink and red hearts for a few weeks every year, and food is no exception. Heart-shaped cookies, candies, and cupcakes are everywhere, but it doesn't stop there—you can find heart-shaped food for every meal of the day.

If you really want to show your valentine you care, try out one of these 11 heart-shaped dishes for Valentine's Day, from breakfast to dinner, so you can eat love food all day long. And then, of course, there's dessert.

#1. Heart-Shaped Boiled Eggs

You can make hard-boiled eggs heart-shaped with a chopstick and two rubber bands. Check out Yumi's illustrated guide for instructions, or watch Hax's video tutorial here on WonderHowTo.

#2. Heart-Shaped Bacon

Why stop at eggs when you can make your whole breakfast heart-shaped? Cut bacon slices in half and form them into hearts, then bake in the oven so they keep their shape. Instructions can be found on The Paper Mama.

#3. Heart-Shaped Egg in the Basket

Turn a regular breakfast sandwich into a festive Valentine's Day breakfast by cutting a heart out of one piece of bread and cooking an egg in the middle. You can find the full instructions on Reclaiming Provincial. For a more gourmet Downton Abbey-style twist, try out truffled eggs on toast, and just shape the hole as a heart.

#4. Heart-Shaped Pancakes

Make heart-shaped pancakes by putting a cookie cutter in the skillet before pouring in your batter. If you don't have a cookie cutter, you can use a squeeze bottle or pastry bag to "draw" the outline of a heart in batter and fill it in.

#5. Heart-Shaped Grilled Cheese

Use cookie cutters or a knife to cut heart shapes out of your sandwich bread. Assemble and cook your grilled cheese like usual and serve with tomato soup on the side for a quick Valentine's Day lunch.

#7. Heart-Shaped Pizza

Shape your favorite pizza dough into a heart by forming a circle and cutting a triangle out of the top, then attaching it at the bottom to make the tip of the heart. If you have a small enough cookie cutter, you can go all-out with heart-shaped pepperonis, too.

#8. Heart-Shaped Roasted Potatoes

Cut potatoes into thick slices and use a cookie cutter to cut them into heart shapes for a cute side dish.

#9. Heart-Shaped Whisky Sriracha Candies

If you want a break from chocolate, try these whisky Sriracha hard candies. The ingredients are super simple and they make a great gift for anyone who likes a little spice.

#10. Heart-Shaped Cupcakes

Make your cupcakes heart-shaped by placing a ball of foil between the liner and the pan. Check out the full tutorial by Hax for instructions.

#11. Heart-Shaped Lingerie Cookies

Only during Valentine's Day do you find cookies wearing lingerie. Heart-shaped cookies are the perfect shape to draw on bras and panties, but they do require some frosting skills.
