Heart-Shaped Food Ideas

For Valentine's Day or any day of the year, create these fun heart-shaped foods with your kids. Here’s a little inspiration with quick and easy ideas for using a heart-shaped cookie cutter to make the day special.

Let your imagination soar, with a heart shaped cookie cutter you can cut most any food into a heart shape. Try a few of these easy ideas: brownies, fruit slices, pancakes, waffles, jello jigglers, grilled cheese, cookies, and toast. This is a cute touch not just for Valentine's Day, pull out the cookie cutters for St. Patricks, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas too to create fun food shapes.

Making heart shaped scrambled eggs is easy. You can either follow the above picture guide, or another easy way is to take a square pan and cover it with the scrambled eggs in a thin layer to cook. Lay a piece of foil over the eggs to be sure they cook thoroughly. Once cooked, you can use the cookie cutter to cut the square of eggs into heart shapes or whatever shape you like!

If you are filling the cooking cutter with the eggs to cook, be sure to spray the inside of the cutter with vegetable spray, and also, only pour in a thin layer of egg so that they will cook through.

And, finally, as you are pouring the eggs into the cutter shape be sure to press down on the cutter so the egg liquid doesn't leak out- hold it for a minute or so until the eggs set up.
