Last year gave us many new takes on charcuterie boards, and it was just a matter of time before they started ruling 2021. That moment is finally here, as breakfast boards have taken TikTok and Instagram by storm and inspired us to put a twist on the most important meal of the day.

So What Are They?

Breakfast boards follow the same formula as traditional charcuterie boards, just with different ingredients. Instead of using cheeses, meats, crackers, and dips, you’ll replace them with your favorite breakfast foods, beautifully arranged on a board or platter.

Waffles, pancakes, bagels, and croissants are usually used as a base of the breakfast boards that we’re seeing everywhere right now. Once you pick the centerpiece of your breakfast board, feel free to experiment with other ingredients, such as fruits, eggs, and dips.

If you want to make sure your breakfast board is healthy and delicious at the same time, try to diversify your food arrangement with a variety of fiber-rich foods. Fruits and veggies will add some color to your board, but it also helps that they’re rich in vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients. You can also add some protein to the mix with Greek yogurt and eggs and include whole grains by using sourdough bread.
