One way to start the day right this coming Father’s Day is by making a special breakfast just for your favorite dad. These recipes are simple, delicious, and festive. Many are also easy enough that the kids can help. (And, if not, have them work on one of these fantastic ideas for DIY Father’s Day gifts, cards, or printables that are easy for kids to make while you do the cooking.) Serve these awesome Father’s Day breakfast recipes to dad in bed or surprise him when he wakes up. Then, once he’s all fueled up, head out for a day of fun—or let him climb back in bed for a nap.
His call. Of course.

Speaking of feeding cowboys, we spied this amazing looking Breakfast Patty Melt at Pioneer Woman made with sausage instead of the traditional hamburger patty, onion, and eggs.

If you’re feeding a crowd on Father’s Day—or even if not—put together a gorgeous French Toast Bar like this one that we found at What’s Gaby Cooking. Make the french toast before people come over (you can keep it warm in an oven set to the lowest temperature or a slow cooker set on warm) and set out bowls of goodness to go on top. Berries, syrup, honey, chocolate spread, powdered sugar—you get the point. Then set everything out and let dad—and the rest of the family—go to town.
