Skip to Recipe

It is said that all good things in life are meant to be shared, so should a meal be any different? Eating together is so much more than getting food on the table and feeding hungry stomachs, it is about the conversations, laughter and the lasting memories that are created around the table.

Charcuterie Boards are all the rage and rightfully so! They are such a beautiful way to bring people together and are extremely flexible. But the main reason they have become a centerpiece of social gatherings is that they require minimal culinary skills to assemble.
WHAT IS A CHARCUTERIE BOARD?

A Charcuterie Board (pronounced shahr-koo-tuh-ree) that originated in France features an assortment of cured meats and cheeses, arranged in a visually pleasing way, paired with different accompaniments like crackers, fruits, cheese, nuts and different spreads. Over the past few years, it has evolved to signify almost any sort of snack board and become a work of art.

This Breakfast Charcuterie Board is a fun twist on the well loved Charcuterie Board and is a great way to start your mornings. With such a delicious spread, there’s something for everyone to enjoy! Perfect for weekend brunches, Mothers Day, Valentine's Day or Christmas Mornings.

Though assembling a beautiful, eye-catching board might seem intimidating for the uninitiated, it’s actually a whole lot easier than it looks. It’s easy to buy store-bought ingredients, but this Breakfast Board is best with fresh hot pancakes right off the griddle! It makes waking up extra special when your family tastes the homemade goodness!

Here are a few recipes that you can add to this Breakfast Charcuterie Board: BEST ITEMS TO INCLUDE ON A BREAKFAST CHARCUTERIE BOARD

The ideas that I came up are not where it ends! Try to add ingredients of different colors and textures to make it visually appealing and appetizing. Here a few of my favorites:

  • Pancakes: Pancakes are the star of the show for this board. I love whipping these Healthy Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes Or Healthy Banana Spinach Pancakes. They are a delicious source of carbs that provides the energy to start your day off on the right foot.
  • Granola: I made my own granola, from this Easy & Healthy Homemade Granola recipe that has become a family favorite, but feel free to buy it.
  • Fruits: Fruits always add a pop of color and freshness, and will provide a dose of nutrition. Use fruits like green grapes, sliced oranges, raspberries, blueberries and apples. If adding any juicy fruits, serve them in a bowl to keep the juice from spreading.
  • Protein: Eggs are a breakfast staple and a great way to add in some protein to your diet.
  • Jams and Spreads: Honey or maple syrup are a must have if serving pancakes. You can also include nutella, peanut butter, jams or jellies.
