First Comes the Pancakes, Waffles, and Bagels
The ideas that I came up with for this breakfast charcuterie board are not where it ends! Anything you love to eat for breakfast can go on your board, but I chose to do traditional pancakes and waffles.

Make it Your Own!

I love to give it a theme or make it for the holidays because it’s always great for parties. I also like to serve it when I have company in town.

It’s also fun to decorate your board to go along with the season. I like to sprinkle the board with powdered sugar for a Christmas breakfast charcuterie. Kids LOVE it!
