But what happens when you're hosting guests for breakfast or brunch? You can still have your charcuterie board\u2014just transform it into a breakfast charcuterie board complete with all the sweet and savory fixings.\r\n

What to Include on a Breakfast Charcuterie Board<\/h2>\r\n\"Tohcom21\r\n

Breakfast Classics<\/h3>\r\nFor a breakfast spread with mass appeal, make sure you've got plenty of variety on your board.\u00a0Something a touch sweet, like fluffy waffles<\/a>, pancakes or even French toast, is a great place to start. You'll want to balance that out with saltier foods like bacon<\/a>, sausage<\/a> or sliced ham.\r\n\r\nEggs are always a hit for breakfast. Our Test Kitchen recommends hard-boiled eggs<\/a> for a breakfast board: It's much easier than taking orders for scrambled eggs<\/a>, sunny-side eggs and more! Here's how to make hard-boiled eggs<\/a>.\r\n\r\nFor our board, we added sliced cheddar cheese, too.\r\n

Pastries<\/h3>\r\nA well-chosen pastry or two is always welcome on a brunch spread. Go with smaller versions, like mini cinnamon rolls<\/a>, to leave plenty of room for your other items. If you don't have time for homemade, stop by the bakery!\r\n

Spreads and Syrups<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nMake sure you have plenty of toppings and spreads on your breakfast charcuterie board. Maple syrup (Runamok<\/a> is a favorite among Taste Recipes<\/em> editors), tasty jams and even extra-delicious cultured butter<\/a> are worth including. For a board starring waffles, whipped cream, cinnamon-sugar and melted butter are sweet add-ons.\r\n

Fresh Fruit and Vegetables<\/h3>\r\nIncorporate color and bright flavors on your board with fresh fruit. We filled in the gaps on our breakfast charcuterie board<\/a> with green grapes, sliced oranges, strawberries, avocado and, for even more pops of color, both red and yellow tomatoes.\r\n

Yogurt<\/h3>\r\nCreamy yogurt adds a different texture to the board and goes well with the fruit. Strawberry yogurt or another berry flavor is a good choice here.\r\n\r\nFor even more breakfast board ideas, check out our best breakfast recipes of the year<\/a>.\r\n
