Instructions
- Arrange your chosen ingredients and prepare them as needed (cooking, heating, cutting, etc). Bring bowls, plate, platters, silverware, and glasses over to your work area.
- Begin by choosing some "main" showcase items (such as items high in protein or large breads) and plate or arrange them directly on the serving platter.
- Next, fill bowls with jams, gravy, berries, and other items you need to stay stationary or contained on the board. Arrange the big bowls around the showcase items, then add the smaller bowls.
- Finish by filling any gaps with smaller items. If needed, use lids or more mini bowls to stack or layer items. Strive to keep items of a similar color far apart from each other.
- Serve breakfast charcuterie board with silverware, plates, and glasses.
