They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day so why not go all out? A breakfast charcuterie board with all your favorite toppings is the best way to take your breakfast to the next level.
I love making charcuterie boards because they’re so easy and they always turn out amazing. A small charcuterie board is great for a few people but if I’m feeding a big crowd I always making a grazing table.
You can also experiment with foods and make fun charcuterie boards like our Mexican charcuterie board or our charcuterie cones. It’s always fun to try new ways to have a charcuterie board.
Another thing I love about charcuterie board is how easy they are to customize and cater to dietary restrictions or picky eaters. My gluten-free charcuterie board and my easy vegan charcuterie board are perfect options if you have to adjust to specific needs.

Yes pancakes are a great make-ahead food. You can make them a day ahead and store them in the fridge or further in advance and freeze them. Simply reheat when you’re ready to serve and they taste no different.

This is so cute! I have made plenty of charcuterie boards in my life, but I have NEVER thought of a pancake charcuterie board! I made this for my daughters sleepover party and everyone loved it! It made it easy because everyone served their own stuff and it was so cute.
