Making A Breakfast Charcuterie Board
First decide what type of board you're making, always a good place to start because although you can 'mix and match' some ingredients for breakfast, brunch or lunch it help with the foundation. For example, if you're doing breakfast you know you can include things like eggs, oats, cereal, coffee, tea, pastries, bacon, sausages, breads, croissants and fruit.
Otherwise for brunch you lean more into most of the breakfast items with more types of fruit, juice, cocktails, champagne, French toast. You can also include cake beautifully iced cupcakes and move onto the bigger offerings like frittata and Shakshuka. As you can see the options are endless and delicious too!
Tips and Suggestions
This breakfast charcuterie board is definitely easy to make but you do need to be a little organized. I say that incase you're wanting to make a special family breakfast. Naturally you can also simply add your ingredients as you like.
- There is some aspect to cooking as in frying the bacon, melting the brie cheese and frying the eggs. You can also make your own homemade pancakes or you can use store bought ones. I bought a small packet of these baby pancakes from Woolies, wonderful and time saving!
- Adding the jam, honey etc. into smaller bowls makes everything fit on the board! It also looks pretty!
Remember that the idea of the board is to create an atmosphere, away from the kitchen and being part of the meal without feeling exhausted. At least that's how it is for me so I minimize the work where possible.
