1. The Hands-On Breakfast In Bed
No fork. No knife. Just the stupifyingly satisfying experience of a breakfast you can wrap your hands around. This ham-and-egg breakfast sandwich carries a punch of garlicky pesto and a slight smokiness from roasted red peppers. You can use store-bought pesto, personalize it with a from-scratch pesto with fresh kale ormint and basil made the night before. You’ll want a clean-tasting, crisp side to balance the richness: These quick refrigerator picklesdo nicely. (Don’t miss our tips on poaching eggs.)

2. The One-Pan Breakfast In Bed
The chard breakfast skillet with egg, onion, and tomatorequires no side dishes—except maybe a slice of toast to mop up the delicious juices afterward.

3. The Egg-Centric Breakfast In Bed
For sheet comfort, it’s hard to beat a plate of farmers’ market scrambled eggs. Pair them with a minted honey-lime fruit salad.
4/9
4. The Quickie Breakfast In Bed
Is time of the essence? A microwave helps turn yummy breakfast burritos into a 7-minute proposition. Store-bought crepes still look—and taste—great; use them to make savory, omega-3-rich smoked salmon and chive crepes, or indulge a sweet tooth with asumptuous filling of fresh strawberries, brown sugar, orange zest, and cream.

5. The Liquid Breakfast In Bed
Prefer to start the day with some smoothie recipes? Try these blender breakfasts on for size. Don’t let the pink-liciousness of thisbreakfast smoothie fool you— the berries turn on detoxifying enzymes and ginger stimulates digestion. Natural peanut butter lends a somewhat coarse texture to a hearty peanut butter and yogurt smoothie, while corn flakes added just enough carbs to give a healthy boost in this blueberry- and banana-fortified soy smoothie.

6. The Oatmeal Upgrade In Bed
An easy way to get out of the box with your oatmeal strategy: Serve up an indulgent cinnamon-mocha version loaded with antioxidants (from dark chocolate), potassium (from banana), and heart-healthy fat, thanks to crunchy hazelnuts, or a bowl of blueberries ‘n’ cream(topped with berries, lemon zest, and Greek yogurt). Or try savory toppings like cheddar, bacon, and walnuts. Pour a cup of cinnamon-spiced spiced Mexican coffee to go with it.
7/9
7. The Dessert-For-Breakfast In Bed
Chocoholic moms (is there any other kind?) will love this decadentchocolate- and cream cheese-stuffed French toast topped with strawberries macerated in sugar and orange zest. Serve it with a couple of strips of your favorite organic bacon and a homemadehazelnut latte.
8/9
8. The Waffle Bar Breakfast In Bed
Let your waffle iron (or toaster) do the heavy lifting, and then put together a choose-your-own topping array of fixins. Have fun with this! Peanut butter, ricotta, banana, and strawberries; almond butter and fresh-pitted cherries; and peaches ‘n’ cream—all are all fantastic. If you’re feeling ambitious, try making your ownblueberry sauce or sweet orange syrup instead of (or in addition) to maple.
9/9
9. The Perfect Parfait In Bed
Fruit. Yogurt. Crunchy bits on top. Think you know the parfait? Think again. Simmering pineapple with cinnamon and honey and serving it over spiced yogurt under a shower of chopped pistachios yields adelicious twist on the tradition. Round out the menu with toasted whole grain bread topped with almond butter and a ripe, sliced pear, along with a café au lait.
