The Cutest Breakfast Charcuterie

Morning time is made SWEETER with the adorable arrangement of this breakfast charcuterie board. Beautifully bursting with colors and textures, it’s almost too pretty to eat, but I promise your guests will find it irresistible.

It’s easy to buy store-bought ingredients, but this breakfast charcuterie board is best with fresh hot pancakes and waffles right off the griddle! It makes waking up extra special when your family tastes the homemade goodness! Make a batch of my Grandma’s pancakes, these Belgian waffles, and serve them with the most amazing homemade syrup EVER!

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. Just remember that when you serve mini-sized items, the crowd goes wild because it’s so irresistible! Use 1 tablespoon of pancake batter to make mini pancakes.

Toppings For a Breakfast Charcuterie Board

The toppings are the best part of this breakfast charcuterie board! There are so many ideas for toppings and I switch them up every time. Kids and adults love to choose their own toppings for their pancakes and waffles. All the sweet toppings in one place…your guests will want to try them ALL! It’s so fun to see what everyone chooses and they’ll keep coming back for more.

  • White Chocolate Chips
  • Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • Cookie or Biscoff Butter
  • Nutella
  • Whipped Cream
  • Maple Syrup

More Ideas for Toppings

The great thing about pancakes and waffles is that you can serve them with lots of toppings. The toppings just make them taste even better! Here are a few more ideas that will go perfectly on this breakfast charcuterie board.

  • Nuts: Walnuts or pecans are a delicious sweet and salty treat on pancakes and add great texture.
  • Cream Cheese: Strawberry cream cheese for the bagels would be yummy on your breakfast board.
  • Syrups: Try adding caramel syrup or coconut syrup to your breakfast board because it adds variety.
  • Jams: Spread a fruity jam like peach or raspberry on top of your pancakes.
  • Peanut Butter: Add some peanut butter to spread on pancakes or melt and drizzle on waffles…MMMM!

Add Fresh Fruit For Breakfast

I especially like to add fresh fruit to a breakfast charcuterie board because it’s healthy and nutritious. It’s nice to have some juicy, fresh fruit first thing in the morning. I love adding nutritious fruit because breakfast is the most important meal of the day! The strawberries are always the first to go, so make sure you have extra!

  • Bananas
  • Blackberries
  • Blueberries
  • Strawberries
  • Raspberries

Make it Your Own!

Like I said before, the best part about a breakfast charcuterie is that you make it your own! Here are some more ideas that you could use to make it fun and creative. 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.

  • Use Shapes: I love using cookie cutters to make different shapes out of the pancakes. Cut out fruit shapes if you use oranges or pineapples on your board. I like to display the fruit in fun shapes to make it visually beautiful and fun!
  • Make it Seasonal: Serve this breakfast board all year long! Create a winter or summer breakfast board and serve seasonal ingredients. 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!
  • Give it a Theme: A breakfast charcuterie for any holiday or get-together is fun! Serve Mexican breakfast items for Cinco De Mayo. Or do a red, white, and blue theme for the Fourth of July.
  • More Than Just a Breakfast: Breakfast food is a favorite all day long! This breakfast charcuterie board would be perfect for brunch. It’s also delicious to serve as a dessert or even at dinnertime. I made it for a girl’s night and it was everyone’s FAVORITE!
  • Make It Savory: Add meats, cheeses, or eggs to your breakfast board. It’s great to add protein because it gives your guests options!

Smoke taint is one of the greatest threats to America’s West Coast wine regions, with wines from over half the vintages of the last decade affected. In the age of climate change , as wildfires become an increasingly regular part of life, the need for more research into the effects of smoke on grape growing and winemaking takes on new urgency. Enter three researchers: Anita Oberholster at the  University of California, Davis ; Tom Collins at  Washington State University  and Elizabeth Tomasino at  Oregon State University .

The House Is ‘Intrinsically Tied to Provence,’ says Cyprien Roy of Domaines Ott, European Winery of the Year | Wine Enthusiast’s 2022 Wine Star Awards

Image Courtesy of Lucy Beaugard The Historic Rosé Producer Has Never Chased Trends. For many wine lovers in the United States and beyond, Domaines Ott rosé —in its iconic amphora-shaped bottle—influenced their impression of one of the essential products of Provence . The plurality of Domaines Ott is derived from three properties: historic Château Romassan in Bandol ; Clos Mireille, a former monastery at La Londe Les Maures; and the windswept flagship Château de Selle in Taradeau. “Domaines Ott has been producing rosé for more than 100 years,” says Cyprien Roy, communications manager at Maisons Marques & Domaines USA, Inc . representing Louis Roederer, owner of Domaines Ott. Though often credited for elevating the popularity of high-end Provençal rosé around the world, the company is “not in it for producing wines that are trendy,” says Roy. Domaines Ott was founded in 1912 by Marcel Ott, a young agronomist from Alsace who found enough viticultural inspiration in Provence t

Move Over, White Claw: Hard Seltzer Goes Craft

Image
Getty Images There was derision in certain drinking circles when hard seltzer first captured the beverage zeitgeist in the mid-2010s . Then, when it became apparent that the fizzy fruity category was going to become a permanent fixture in consumer fridges around 2018 , many makers raced to catch up with demand. These days it’s clear that there are two hard-seltzer options: larger national brands—like White Claw , Truly and High Noon —and craft producers and upstarts that offer smaller-batch offerings. Hard Seltzer Finds Its Footing in Craft Spaces Mirroring the craft beer industry of the last 20 years, a lot of the innovation in hard seltzer flavor is happening through the smaller producers. And their offerings give consumers a chance to drink local and taste a sense of place. “Honestly, I don’t see the big brands as competition,” says Nick Smith the owner of Lumpy Ridge Brewing Co. in Estes Park, Colorado . “We’re playing different games. I believe in what makes us craft an

‘We’re Trying to Create a Legacy Region,’ Says Austin Hope, Winemaker and President of Hope Family Wines, American Winery of the Year | Wine Enthusiast’s 2022 Wine Star Awards

Image
Image Courtesy of John Fedorowicz The Winery has Championed Paso Robles Since its Days as a Cow Town. Though today it’s a globally recognized wine country full of stylish tasting rooms and lined with vines as far as the eye can see, Paso Robles , California , was little more than a dusty cowboy town when Chuck and Marilyn Hope bought land to plant vineyards here in 1978. Four decades later, Hope Family Wines produces a wide range of internationally distributed brands that are respected for both quality and affordability as well as market-leading creativity. “We became one of the larger farmers in the area,” explains their son, Austin Hope, who went from a kid playing in vineyards to a visionary for the family’s wine portfolio almost 30 years ago. “There wasn’t anyone here at the time. We went through the whole cycle of the wine industry.” They grew Zinfandel during the height of the White Zin craze, empowered the region’s Bordeaux boom and were an early adopter of the Rhône g

‘In Wine, the Most Important Decisions are Long-Term Decisions,’ says Sebastian Zuccardi, Director of Winemaking of Zuccardi Valle de Uco, New World Winery of the Year | Wine Enthusiast’s 2022 Wine Star Awards

Image
Image Courtesy of ZUCCARDI VALLE DE UCO / WINESELLERS LTD Letting the land and fruit of Argentina’s Uco Valley speak through wine has been a painstaking process of research and study. “ Zuccardi Valle de Uco is Uco Valley ,” says Sebastian Zuccardi, director of winemaking and third generation of the Zuccardi family. The winery has focused on elevating the Uco Valley region while positioning itself as one of its most iconic wine producers. The Zuccardis’ innovative spirit guided them to the Uco Valley in the early 2000s. Since then, they have explored it thoroughly, from a macro to a micro perspective. As a result, their winery is currently praised for its wines made with grapes from acclaimed appellations such as Altamira, Gualtallary and San Pablo. “As a family,” says Zuccardi, “what we did well was create something with deep roots by first understanding the region, then purchasing land, learning more about the region and finally building a winery.” In 2009, Zuccardi and his tea

Cocktail Competitions Promise Opportunity. But Who Really Wins?

Image
  For major spirits companies, cocktail competitions have long been a way to get products into the hands of creative bartenders and customers. Events start at the local level and scale all the way up to international tournaments, with potential for major prizes, mentorship from past winners, and rapid career growth.  Despite the potential benefits of getting involved with these kinds of events, not every brand wants to (or is able to) host. Independent spirit brands like Good Vodka , a vodka made from coffee fruit, find competitions too expensive and time-consuming for their small teams, which instead builds relationships with bartenders by “doing the legwork from bar to bar, account to account,” explains co-founder Tristan Willey. Willey won an Old Forester Old Fashioned Competition while working at Nomad, in addition to serving as a judge for similar competitions. He notes that judging comes with its own challenges, like drinking many Bloody Marys in quick success

A Simple Scotch and Soda Is a Refreshing Classic

Image
Stocksy Learning how to make the best Scotch and soda might sound unnecessary. After all, it’s just a combination of Scottish whisky , sparkling water and ice. In a glass. Mixing up a Scotch and soda should be as easy as falling off the proverbial log. However, it turns out there are a number of considerations that go into making the ideal version of this drink, also known as the Scotch highball. The History of the Scotch and Soda Its precise origins are murky, but the combination of Scotch and soda was making the rounds in both Britain and the U.S. in the late 1800s. Cincinnati barman C.F. Lawlor includes a whiskey and soda drink called the Splificator in his pioneering 1895 book The Mixicologist , plus a “High Ball” cocktail that features brandy or whiskey and seltzer over ice. More proof linking the Scotch and Soda to this era is a 1927 letter written by bartender and author Patrick Gavin Duffy, which was published in the New York Times. In it, Duffy states that he rarely s
