What’s needed to make a Breakfast Charcuterie board:

A variety of mini bagels from the local bagel shop
Cream cheese (plain or flavored or both!)
Crispy Bacon
Plain Greek Yogurt
Granola – here’s my easy homemade granola recipe

How to make a Breakfast Charcuterie Board:

Cook the bacon or sausage the day before and reheat easily in the microwave.
Create a serving buffet with plates, forks, knives, spoons and festive napkins.
Gather all food items. I make a list so I don’t forget anything.
Add room temp items to the board first (such as granola and fruit), followed by cold items (yogurt) finishing with the bacon, toasted waffles and bananas. The waffles can be toasted while the bacon reheats.

Can I prep a Breakfast Charcuterie Board ahead of time?

Yes – here’s how:

Cook sausage or bacon up to 2 days ahead of time, refrigerate and warm in the microwave.
Make granola up to one week ahead of time and store in an airtight container on the counter.
Slice fruit (except bananas) a few hours ahead and refrigerate.
Buy bagels one day in ahead.

Best breakfast and brunch beverages:

Coffee (include some seasonal coffee creamers)
Juices – offer a variety of juices – orange, pomegranate, grapefruit, cranberry.

Caramel Apple Mimosas – the perfect holiday cocktail with fresh apple cider, caramel vodka, pomegranate juice and champagne in a caramel-sugar rimmed glass.

Sunrise Mimosas – just 3 ingredients – orange juice, prosecco and a splash of grenadine for a delicious, jazzed up cocktail that’s the ultimate addition to brunch.
