Breakfast Charcuterie Grazing Board
You don’t have to cook that much, just grab some easy breakfast items, cook up some simple eggs and make this amazing breakfast grazing board.
What is a Grazing Board?
Similar to a charcuterie board, but a grazing board isn’t limited to meats and cheeses. You can choose a theme and build a board around it. It often has small items that people can just stand around and graze from, but can also include full sized items.
Make sure to include some items that people don’t have to cut or use silverware to eat. But also include small plates for those that prefer to graze from their own plate.
What do I need to make a Breakfast Grazing Board?
- Meats – sausage links or patties, Ham, bacon, smoked sausage
- Cheese – cubed or sliced smoked gouda, cheddar, pepper jack, or cheese spreads
- Eggs – you can make scrambled, fried, boiled
- Bread – biscuits (canned or frozen or even homemade), bagels, croissants, waffles, pancakes, scones
- Sweet Bread – donuts, cinnamon rolls, donut holes, mini muffins
- Potatoes – cubed with onions and peppers, hashbrowns, tater tots
- Gravy – white gravy or with sausage
- Cream cheese – regular or flavored
- Condiments – jellies, butter, syrup
- Drinks – coffee, milk, creamer, orange juice, champagne
- Fruit – strawberries, orange slices, raspberries, blueberries, apple slices, melons, bananas
- Vegetables – tomato, onion, cucumber, etc.
- Other – yogurt, granola, cereals
- Platters – wooden cutting boards, metal trays, small serving bowls, spoons and plates
Recipe Tips:
- Don’t hesitate to buy frozen or refrigerated items that you can just heat and serve. Key to a grazing board is fast and easy.
- A great grazing board will be crowded with items. You want everyone to feel there is plenty for all to graze.
- Layering items is great. You can layer by adding mini bowls on the board and placing another bowl on top. This will raise the bowl and it can be crowded in, overlapping a plate or bowl.
How to assemble Breakfast Charcuterie Grazing Board
- Choose the items you want on your grazing board. Cook or heat everything so it is ready to go.
- Fill your bowls with jams, gravy, berries and other things you don’t want falling or running off the board.
- You can plate some main items or just layer them around. Begin by placing a few main bowls or plates on the board.
- Use small lids or mini bowls to raise other items.
- Next place smaller bowls or glasses around the board.
- Fill in areas with fruit, breads, and cheeses.
- Add the spoons to the bowls that need them and lay out plates. You can set up drinks near your board as well.
