Tips For Creating The Perfect Brunch Board
Creating a brunch board may look impressive, but it’s actually much easier than you think. Follow these simple tips to create a beautiful spread every time.
1. Start With Your Main Brunch Items
Choose a few main carbohydrate options to build your board around.
Great choices include:
- Waffles
- Pancakes
- Bagels
- French toast
- Granola
- Muffins
- Pastries
Once you’ve selected your main items, you can choose toppings, sides, and accompaniments that pair perfectly with them.
2. Choose The Right Board Or Serving Platter
Use your largest cutting board, tray, or serving platter as the foundation.
Start by placing your largest items first — usually your main breakfast foods and any bowls containing toppings, sauces, or spreads.
This creates structure and makes filling in the remaining space much easier.
3. Fill The Empty Spaces
Once your main items are arranged, add smaller foods around them.
Work from largest to smallest, and try to spread different colors, textures, and shapes throughout the board.
A variety of colors and textures will make your brunch board look more inviting and visually appealing.
4. Don’t Forget Serving Utensils
Make sure guests have everything they need to enjoy the board.
Include:
- Small butter knives
- Spoons for spreads
- Serving tongs
- Small bowls for sauces or toppings
A little preparation goes a long way!
