Easy Brunch Charcuterie Board

This Brunch Charcuterie Board will be the hit of your weekend brunches or any holiday brunch you will be hosting. Sweet and savory foods share the spotlight in this easy breakfast charcuterie board that calls for minimal cooking with a variety of favorites to enjoy.

We often enjoy having mini breakfast buffets so when I served this easy Brunch Charcuterie Board to the family they devoured it in minutes. Luckily, I had extras of most everything to fill it up again.

Creating grazing boards like this one and this easy breakfast charcuterie board makes life easy for me. I know what everyone’s favorites are to include on the platters. Charcuterie boards are great for more than a weekend brunch. They’re perfect for Easter Brunch, Mother’s Day, or any holiday or event.

What is a Charcuterie Board

Charcuterie boards, also known as grazing or snack boards are very popular. They’re so easy to make for a party, special event, or even to serve for dinner. Basically, they are boards filled with a variety of different ingredients like meats, cheese, dried and fresh fruit, and dippers. 

Easy Brunch Charcuterie Board

This Brunch Charcuterie Board makes enough for 4 people but is easily adapted for more by doubling or tripling the breakfast foods and using a larger tray or a few smaller ones.

Choosing the board to use is easy too. You don’t need a fancy expensive one. Using a large platter or wooden board are great options, even a baking sheet! I used a piece of parchment paper to cover my board to help reduce staining. The board I used here is an oval tray that is 20″ by 14″. The great thing about charcuterie boards is that you can customize them to the size and shape of your board, or make multiple boards, even!

The advantage of putting together these boards is that you can customize the items you use. If you’re not a fan of a particular fruit or meat, use your favorite breakfast foods. Same goes for the meats, cheeses, and other foods. I chose to use mini bagels in this one, we could make breakfast sandwiches with eggs, meats, and cheese. Or simply spread the cream cheese or jelly over the bagels. We plan to add these Bacon and Cheese Phyllo Cups and a mini muffin version of these raspberry coconut muffins the next time I serve this brunch charcuterie board. So good! Your options really are endless.

This simple brunch charcuterie board would be perfect for Easter brunch and then serve this Easter Candy Charcuterie Board filled with sweet treats alongside it or later in the day. Of course, you don’t have to wait for a special occasion to create an easy charcuterie board!

🥣Equipment

• small skillet
• small bowls
• charcuterie board (I used a 20″ by 14″ oval tray)

📃Ingredients

• 1 Blood orange
• 2 Kiwi
• 6 Strawberries
• 4 thin round slices of ham
• 3 slices prosciutto
• 3 slices Cheddar
• 6 eggs, scrambled
• 3 slices bacon, cut in half
• 4 mini blueberry muffins
• 4 mini bagels, sliced
• ¼ cup garden vegetable cream cheese
• ¼ cup apple Jelly
• sprigs of rosemary for garnish

Instructions

Add the bacon to a medium skillet, and cook over medium heat, flipping once, until done to your desired crispiness. Crack the eggs into a bowl, and use a whisk to scramble them. Pour into a small skillet, and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until done. While the bacon and eggs are cooking, assemble your board. Cut the cheese into quarters. Make diagonal cuts across the entire center of the kiwis. Gently pull apart. Cut the blood orange in half.

Set a platter or bowl for the eggs towards the top center of the board. Arrange the bagel halves below the egg platter, wrapping it. Add a small jar filled with the jelly under the bagels, slightly to the right. Add a small bowl filled with cream cheese under the bagels, on the left side. Add half a blood orange above the left bagel, and the other above the egg platter on the right.

Fold the ham in half, then in half again. Arrange under the bagels, next to the jelly. Fold the prosciutto into thirds, and arrange it above the blood orange on the left. Layer the cheddar cheese in a half circle, surrounding the bowl of cream cheese.

Arrange the strawberries underneath the jar of jelly. Arrange the cooked bacon underneath the orange on the right, above the bagel slices. Arrange 2 kiwi halves under the orange on the left, next to the bagels. The other kiwi should be arranged between the prosciutto and blood orange at the top of the platter. Fill in the obvious 4 bare spots with the muffins.

Add the scrambled eggs to the platter. Fill in additional bare spots with sprigs of rosemary. Serve and enjoy with a cup of coffee, juice, this vanilla chia latte, or a refreshing raspberry lemon mimosa.
