Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. On a large wooden board, place small bowls around the board to hold spreads and small items.
  2. Place the ingredients around the bowls on your board. Place labels and cheese knives as needed.
  3. Decorate with edible flowers and herbs as desired.
  4. Serve at room temperature for no more than 2 hours.

Notes

  • Fill the empty spaces with (allergy-appropriate!) nuts, candies like chocolate chips, or macarons!
  • Consider a theme for your board, like using seasonal ingredients or holiday flavors. For example, include pumpkin-flavored items for a fall brunch or heart-shaped items for a Valentine's Day breakfast.
  • Label each item on the board with small signs or cards to help guests identify what they're eating.
  • Keep your guests' dietary restrictions in mind and offer alternatives when possible.
  • Do not keep your grazing boards out for more than 2 hours, this is when refrigerated foods reach the dangerous temperature zone where bacteria thrive.
