Instructions
- Choose what you’re putting on the board, and reheat it or cook it, as needed.
- Select your board, various sizes of serving bowls, plates, utensils, and whatever props or items you will need for assembly.
- Fill smaller bowls with things like jams, gravy, or anything you don’t want spilled onto other items.
- For more main items like the meats or eggs, you can plate them or simply lay them on the board.
- Place a few main bowls around the main food items and add to them what you think will fit best in them from potatoes to muffins, whatever looks best.
- Place smaller bowls around the main bowls. Tip - Layer by raising up the smaller bowls in stacks or placing them on a glass to raise them which allows you to pack more food onto the board without it looking too crammed in or overcrowded.
- Fill in open spaces with bread, cheeses, fruits, muffins, sweets, or whatever you are exactly using and what will nicely fill in the gaps.
- Add serving spoons to anything that needs it and set out plates, cutlery, and napkins for guests to use.* (See Notes for some themed board suggestions, ideas, and recipe link inspiration.)
Notes
- Ingredients Note — Use quantities sufficient to feed your group, mix-and-match items as desired, this is a flexible and creative recipe concept.
- Pancake Board with various types of pancakes – Mini Buttermilk Pancakes, Pumpkin Pancakes, or Apple Cinnamon Pancakes are all great.
- Muffin board with all the muffins – From Strawberry Chocolate Chip Muffins, to Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, to full size Zucchini Muffins to Skinny Blueberry Muffins, and Flourless Blender Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip.
- Waffle Board – From Hash Brown Waffles to Classic Waffles with Berries or Pumpkin Waffles and everything in between.
- Eggs All Ways Board – Although this will require more prep and planning, from a Bacon and Cheese Egg Casserole, to Fancy White Cheddar Baked Eggs in Ramekins, an Easy Frittata, a Cheesy Quiche, Skinny 100-Calorie Egg Muffins, or beloved Egg-In-A-Hole Avocado Toast, Eggs In Hell with Italian Sausage, and more – nothing screams brunch quite like eggs!
