Questions and tips
Can I make the breakfast board ahead of time?
This breakfast board is not suitable for a make-ahead dish because you need to heat the waffles and pancakes separately before placing them on the board. You can prepare the fruit ahead of time and have it in the individual bowls.
Can I make this a breakfast charcuterie board?
The sky’s the limit to what you can do with this breakfast board! If you want to add some meat, just leave room on one end and add sausage links or crispy bacon. You can replenish everything as needed.
