Mother’s Day is quickly approaching this Sunday, May 12th, and while mothers everywhere are insisting they don’t want anything (not even flowers), I’m sure they would appreciate a nice homemade breakfast.  

Maybe your mom leans more towards savory items, or maybe she has a sweet tooth, but whatever it is, here are some manageable ideas to inspire you.   

You could stick with a classic breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage and home fries, or maybe make an omelet.  Add some of your mom’s favorite mix ins to it too: sliced ham, bacon bits, onions, whatever it may be.   

If you want to keep it simple and easy you could opt for avocado toast. Here’s a great recipe from delish, and, if you want to add something else, you could top it with strawberries and feta cheese, or maybe an egg.   

If you’re feeling ambitious and want to attempt something a bit more complicated, you could try to make eggs benedict.  This is another great recipe from delish, and I know my mom would really appreciate this on Mother’s Day.   

There’s plenty of savory dishes to make for breakfast, but what about a sweet option?  I’m sure most people have the ingredients for pancakes sitting around their house.  A great go to sweet breakfast to make your mom on Mother’s Day: pancakes!  Only seven simple ingredients and whatever toppings you would like to add to make them perfect for your mom.  All it takes is eggs, milk, butter, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, and this recipe from Food tells you just how much you need of everything.   

Cinnamon rolls are another great sweet breakfast treat, and if you lack confidence in your ability to cook or bake anything, you could buy some delicious premade ones from Pillsbury, and all you would need to do is put them in a pan and pop them in the oven for about 15 minutes!  

Last but certainly not least, french toast – a perfect and easy sweet breakfast that tastes great!  This recipe from The Food Charlatan gives you all the tips on how to make the best french toast.   

Now if you’ve gotten through all of those breakfast items and none of them seem remotely possible for you to make, then another excellent idea would be to take your mom out to breakfast, maybe to her favorite café!
