Instructions

• Begin by placing the savory items (protein and vegetables) on a large wooden board. For this assortment, I selected air fryer bacon, breakfast sausage links, hard-boiled eggs, sliced avocado, cucumbers, and cubed Colby jack cheese.
• Next, add the breads and pastries. I included mini croissants and mini pancakes, but feel free to choose from scones, bagels, or crepes!
• After that, incorporate the butters, jams, and spreads. I used raspberry jam, Nutella, and strawberry butter.
• Finally, fill the remaining spaces with fruit and berries. I added strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and bananas. Serve right away and savor!

Notes

• • Cook the bacon until crispy- Since boards are often left out for a period, crispy bacon maintains its shape better than softer bacon that may become mealy.

• • Opt for mini pastries- To prevent the pastries from dominating the breakfast board, choose mini versions so that the breads are not significantly larger than the other items.

• • Select easy-to-grab items- Cheese cubes, individual sausage links, plain pancakes, and berries are all convenient choices that make this brunch board easy to access without creating a mess.

• • Assemble in the proper sequence- Start with the larger items—proteins and pastries—then add spreads in their small bowls, and fill the gaps with fruit for an appealing presentation and balanced spacing.
