Today we are going to prepare something so simply perfect. Mindful, simple + happy food.
Eggs are usually considered a savory, but let’s face it they are used in sweets all the time. From cakes, cookies, frostings, puddings and more. Eggs take either center stage or they make baked recipes come together. Over here we love traditional savory scrambled eggs, but making a sweet egg scramble puts a nice little twist on a classic breakfast. You know how great your eggs taste when maple syrup oozes onto them from your stack of pancakes? Well then this is kinda like that. Go ahead and make the pancakes too if you wish.
We kept it simple with heart shaped toast and fresh fruit…
We love sprouted grain breads, but your favorite crispy baguette would pair well too.
Why is it that cutting food into hearts makes everything so *happy*…
These would make a charming little breakfast or brunch for a shower, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day or Easter.
Keep in mind that this is simply a method type of recipe. Adjust ratios according to your taste and diet preferences. I am just suggesting that coconut and eggs + some sweetness are a match made in heaven.
Have you ever had sweet eggs? The first time I ever did was in a Japanese restaurant in the form of Tamagoyaki. That is a Japanese omelette made by combining eggs, rice vinegar, and sometimes sugar or soy sauce. The sweet~savory pairing is always a favorite!
If you want more yolks…add ’em.
More toast? Go for it. I love the eggs and fruit by themselves. Extra berries for me please. I can never have enough berries in my world.
Be sure to slather your toast with some melted coconut oil to round everything together.
Also get your hands on some heart cookie cutters in all shapes and sizes. If you don’t have them all ready.
Do you have any special breakfasts planned for Valentine’s Day?
Are you usually the one who cooks breakfast or does a special someone bring you breakfast in bed?
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! ~XO~

Heart-shaped strawberries….TOO CUTE!! I have never seen that done before and you just made me want to try it, asap.
Sweet coconut on eggs? Now that’s a fun idea! For the first time ever, in 3 years, I posted an egg-based recipe on my blog…today. Great minds think alike. I like the idea of your sweet eggs, big time 🙂
Averie, I’ll have to check out your eggie recipe. I could have stamped out those little heart shaped strawberries all day long. Glad you like them!
this is gorgeous! when I ate eggs more often, I used to LOVE sweet scrambles… kinda stumbled into them when I had leftover french toast egg once, and back in college my pup was lucky enough to get those eggs 😉 the sweet scrambles spiraled from there!
I have a new breakfast beverage I am making lately, it will be perfect for our Valentines morning… I may have to include heart shaped toasts too!
happy Valentines, Marla!
Kris, this is just like those scrambled eggs from French toast. Gosh was your puppy lucky back in your college days or what??!! The smoothie & heart shaped toasts sound like the perfect combo.
I’ve never had or thought about sweet scrambled eggs before today and I must say that I am quite intrigued by your recipe! Gorgeous flavors.
Cheers,
Rosa
Rosa…you must try sweet eggs. Really 🙂
Wow! That is so pretty! The perfect healthy meal to serve to your loved ones valentines day morning! I love the heart shaped bread and heart strawberries! As they say a way to a man’s heart is through his stomach
I love coconut. So versatile so yummy! Beautiful photos!!
Thanks Angie! The hearts are the perfect way to bribe my kids too 😉
Yup, I bet waking up at your house is a pretty great thing:)
Thanks Rachel! Must be pretty good considering the kiddos were up at 4am this morning 😉
Oh Marla, these look wonderful! Your so creative! I love eggs and berries, well there my favorite fruit!!!
Sweet scrambled eggs sound divine!! Love the coconut addition! Love love love the cute strawberry hearts!
AWH, I love the strawberry hearts. <3
How cute and romantic! Lovely post Marla!
I love when I find ideas that I’ve never thought of before! I’m definitely putting this on my “to try” list! Sounds delicious!
Your little strawberry hears melt me. Adorable! And, your photography is so beautiful Marla!
Katie, I am so happy my heart shaped strawberries made you *happy* too!! Thanks for your sweet compliments about my photos 🙂
Well, I do ADORE maple syrup on my eggs. But I think I would love this so much more, especially knowing how good for me it is! Happy V-Day love!
Joanne, maple syrup and eggs are one of the best things ever! Hope you dig into this combo very soon. ~xo~
I’m going to have to try this. We have no plans for Valentine’s Day other than the kids parties at their schools. I’m making my special oatmeal cookies for the teachers and other parent helpers. When I made my menu for the week I didn’t think about Tuesday being Valentine’s Day. We’re going to have tuna melts. Maybe I’ll have to cut them in heart shapes for that little extra special Valentine’s Day boost.
Shawna, the heart shaped sandwiches sound like a great idea! We are on our ski trip right now & I brought tons of stuff from home to surprise the kids with when they wake up ~ Including the cutest Valentine’s Day placemats I found last year. Sadly we are missing their parties at school, but thankfully the amazing skiing in Telluride is making up for that 😉 So nice of you to make those oatmeal cookies for the folks at school, bet they loved ’em!
How beautiful Marla! You have such a happy, delicious site. I love it more and more. Hope you have a fabulous day! xoxo
Jenny, that means so much coming from you. Thanks so much my friend 🙂 ~xo~
I love eggs pretty much anytime of the day. I wish I was your kid and could wake up to this feast on Valentine’s am(or any day of the week, for that matter)!
Susan, I wish they were as grateful as you 😉 Well they are sometimes…kinda 🙂
I really like Tamagoyaki, Marla, so I could see myself enjoying this too!
Yes, yes, yes!! Coconut (like bacon) makes everything better. 🙂
Sommer, that would be very true…
ok. I would never, ever have thought to try coconut with scrambled eggs, but I trust you Marla! I bet they are great!
Oh my goodness Marla, this is just gorgeous! Your photos have me swooning as always.
Amanda, coming from you & your wonderful photography skills that means a whole lot 🙂 Thanks for popping over today! ~xo~
What a creative recipe, Marla! Coconut with eggs would be an unlikely pairing in my own mind, but I can’t help but think if it’s good enough for you I might like it too! Thanks for sharing your recipe and beautiful photos.
Thanks Georgia! I love sharing the unexpected with you guys sometimes 🙂 Glad you are digging the idea of a sweet scramble.
Wow! That just looks amazing and super yummy. (I’m going to try it for Valentines’s day.)
I never would have thought to put eggs with coconut. Interesting!
I prefer my eggs to be savory, but I’ll certainly give a sweet spin on them a try!
What a beautiful recipe — you always come up with very creative recipes, Marla 🙂
Sounds delicious! Eat well to be well! And coconut oil is a large part of that!
This sounds absolutely delicious! And I’m totally with ya on the whole maple syrup oozing into eggs thing! Gorgeous photos, Marla!
Love that tiny little Strawberry heart in the plate! Coconut and eggs sounds exciting.
What a cute Valentine’s Day breakfast. I’ve had tamagoyaki, but that’s the only sweet egg I think I’ve ever eaten.
How creative! Love the pics too. Happy Valentines!
I have never tried sweet eggs, but when you mention about when syrup runs into them…yes, I do like that! The coconut sounds great with this. And extra berries for me, too, please! (And someone mentioned to me in a comment once about soy sauce on eggs – I must try that, too!)
What a fun twist on scrambled eggs! I do love to make my eggs sweet sometimes turning into a banana-egg stuffed in a sandwich. I’ve gotta try this coconut twist though. Love all the hearts 🙂
Your blog is simply the tops for presentation and creativity! You always brighten my day!
Perfect for a Valentine’s morning 🙂
Such beautiful pictures and scenes. The recipe looks intriguing and delicious. As I read this I am thoroughly enjoying your “cheesy spaghetti squash casserole” with bacon recipe. Delicious!! I hope you are still in Telluride having the best time! xxoo, Andrea
I can’t believe this is my first visit to your blog!!! I have to tell you. I’m in awe. Love your food styling, photos and recipes. Wow. So glad I found your site.
Well Val I just love your enthusiasm! I am so happy you found my blog too 🙂
This is such a sweet and creative take on the classic egg dish! What a great idea to add the coconut oil to the toast. Sounds like a match made in heaven!
I made this tonight, it has been on my Tastespotting favorites for a long time now but I was a bit hesitant to try it for some reason. Man was it ever fantastic!! It seems an unconventional combo (to me at least) but it is so simple, and so delicious. I will definitely be making this again soon.
Oh Katie, that is such great news! I am so happy I introduced you to some fun new flavor combos. Thanks for your sweet comment!
You’ve definitely caught my attention! I’ve never before even considered eating sweet scrambled eggs. I have to admit I’ve pretty much fallen in love with scrambled eggs with truffle oil and parmesan cheese. It’s my go to for sure. I’m going to have to switch it up and try this recipe next time!
Just whipped these up! Delicious! Coconut and fluffy scrambled eggs is a heavenly flavor combination!
Erica, awesome!! So glad you enjoy my coconut eggs recipe.
I add in a tablespoon of nut butter or natural peanut butter and cook it in a tiny bit of melted unsalted organic butter. I personally love crunchy PB or Almond Butter in this recipe with a splash of 100% maple syrup. It stabilizes my blood sugar for longer periods of time compared to just plain scrambled eggs. Who would have thought eggs, coconut, maple syrup and nut butter? YUMMY, I stay full longer with no blood sugar crashes. Thank you for the recipe.
Love your additions to this recipe, I must try stat!!
