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.

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!

- Blackberries
- Blueberries

What is the Best Material for a Charcuterie Board?
Charcuterie boards often come in various types of wood, marble, and slate, but it’s largely a matter of personal preference as to how you wish to display your breakfast charcuterie arrangement. There are TONS of beautiful options out there, so I created a list of my favorite charcuterie boards, like this customizable marble charcuterie board, which you can get on Amazon for around $50. Or, this double-handled wooden serving board is available at Target for around $30.

Make it Your Own!

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.

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!

Hi Alyssa,
I love the idea of the breakfast charcuterie board with mini waffles and pancakes. My question is ….aren’t those two items room temp or cold when you present the board?
Thanks, Conni
I was thinking the same thing…how do we keep the foods hot or warm that need to be hot or warm?
I totally want to make this for the 27 of Dec 2024 for our company…since we are already having wife saver Christmas morning & in the 26th
Hi Marcia, with this charcuterie board I tried to use items that were ok if they were room temperature. I keep my syrups hot so they can sort of warm up the pancakes and waffles. I love using my liege waffles, which hold up longer sitting out than Belgium waffles. I hope this helps! What a fun idea for your family Christmas get together.
