    Breakfast and Brunch Charcuterie Boards are popular year round. They are great for baby showers, or brunch with friends or feeding visitors.

    Ingredients

    fruits and breakfast foods on a charcuterie board.
    • fresh fruit
    • bacon
    • sausage
    • pancakes
    • mini muffins
    • syrups
    • french toast sticks

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Instructions

    mini muffins in a muffin tin.

    1. Make mini muffins, (I made blueberry muffins and apple muffins) mini pancakes (try our protein pancakes) and anything else that may take awhile to prepare.

    sausages in a fry pan.

    2. Cook your meats. I used bacon and chicken sausage for this one, but you can use any of your favorites.

    3. To assemble your charcuterie board, start with some anchors. Anchors are anything like bowls of things or any large-ish decorative elements you are including. You can see in the next picture I changed my mind and switched some things around. After placing your anchors, start adding things around your anchors and the edges.

    4. Begin filling in the empty spaces with your breakfast foods. Working around the edges and anchors then filling in allows you to fill the board completely. I like to fill in with fruit last, since it can turn brown and is best served chilled. I try to place things so that there are pops of color in various areas of the board.

    Hint: Don't leave any gaps in your snack board! Filling in all the gaps and making it really full looking is what gives it that stunning quality.

    Substitutions

    • Vegetarian - instead of meats, use boiled eggs and protein pancakes for a vegetarian option
    • All fruit charcuterie board- make a massive platter of fruit and ditch all the other items. Use pineapple, mango, peaches, plums, apples, melons and more!

    Variations

    • Spicy - add chili pepper flakes to the savory parts of your board and buy spicy sausages.
    • Brunch Charcuterie Board- Breakfast and brunch are quite similar. To change this to brunch, switch the pancakes for cinnamon rolls and the granola and yogurt for mini croissants and nutella.
    • Easter Breakfast- add in some breakfast casseroles, quiche cups, Italian Easter bread and some cinnamon rolls.

    Equipment

    • Charcuterie Board
    • any decorative elements desired

    Storage

    Store the cold ingredients in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.

    Store the other ingredients in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

    Top tip

    Relax and have fun while creating your board and let your creativity be your guide! Remember if you "mess up" you can always move things around.
