Prepping Your Charcuterie Board
Before you begin assembling the ultimate breakfast grazing boards, you may want a clear idea of all the elements you'll need to consider to make it spotless, from napkins & ramekins to condiments, sauces and drinks. Here's a quick look at the little details that will help take your brunch board from basic to an outstanding breakfast platter.
Decorations
To assemble your breakfast charcuterie board, you'll need breakfast boards, wooden boards or your favourite platters.
You can also choose to include some napkins, layered and folded underneath your breakfast foods., and arrange them in an attractive way, creating contrast between colours and shapes. You can use small bowls or ramekins to hold some of the breakfast/brunch items.
Condiments
No breakfast/brunch spread would be complete without the accompanying condiments. At The Skinny Food Co, we provide a wide variety of sauces & syrups which can be easily paired with your favourite breakfast board ideas.
Why not add one of our on-the-go syrups to your coffees or hot chocolates?
And don't forget our lower sugar sauces such as Ketchup, Brown Sauce & Hollandaise can be paired perfectly with your savoury breakfast recipes.
Whilst our sweeter 425ml syrups such as honey, maple syrup and chocolate can be added to your oats, porridge and bakes for the extra sweet goodness without the added sugars.
This will allow your guests to customize their own experience and truly enjoy their meal.
Sweet Charcuterie Boards
If you're looking for a charcuterie board that combines your favourite sweet breakfast items from fruits to croissants, jams and toasts then why not consider the following items:
Fruits such as strawberries, blueberries and raspberries make a tasty addition to any charcuterie board. You can also include other fruits like melon, pineapple, red or green grapes and kiwi fruit. Toast, croissants and brioche are great for creating the perfect base for your sweet breakfast items. Toppings like jams, honeycomb, Greek yogurt and nut butter bring a delicious sweetness to the board.
You can also choose to include some breakfast-style desserts such as American Fluffy Pancakes, mini muffins or French toast sticks, which are slightly on the sweeter side, but definitely still worthy of its breakfast- brunch title.
