This Pancake Charcuterie Board is a fun way to serve all the deliciousness of your favorite breakfast foods in a beautiful and creative way. Fresh fruit, fluffy pancakes, crispy bacon are just the beginning. Gather your favorite toppings and pass the syrup!
Prep ingredients for charcuterie, but assemble just before serving
In order to ensure your pancake charcuterie is hot and ready to serve. Fill small bowls with spreadable cream cheese, honey with a honey server, add maple syrup to a small pitcher or bowl with a small ladle or spoon. Have chocolate chips ready or place in a small bowl with a spoon.
Wash and gently pat dry blueberries and strawberries, set aside.
Cook the bacon and sausage, keeping warm in a 200 degree oven until ready to assemble.
Next, cook the waffles and pancakes (either homemade or in oven) and keep in a 200 degree oven on a plate to keep warm.
How to Assemble Breakfast Charcuterie
Make sure you have all of your ingredients ready to go!
Start by arranging your mini bagels, cooked waffles and pancakes on the board, using a swirl pattern. Be creative, use the pictures as a guide, but don’t feel stuck! There is not right or wrong way to build a charcuterie board.
Then, add the bowls of toppings and condiments. Tucking the bacon and sausage in various areas near and around the pancakes.
Fill in the gaps with blueberries and strawberries and finally the chocolate chips if you did not add them to a bowl.
Notes
Depending on the size of your board or platter, your quantities will vary, these are suggestions. I used a 13” x 13” platter for this board. But I've also made on this round board too.
It’s best to assemble just before serving so that the waffles and pancakes are warm and fresh. Prep as much as you can beforehand.
Store leftover waffles, bagels and pancakes in an airtight container at room temperature. Reheat in a 300 degree oven for 10-14 minutes.
Return any leftover fruit to the refrigerator and eat within a day or two.
Variations
Try a variety of waffles; chocolate, chocolate chip, protein waffles, etc. Make your own waffles and just cut them into quarters.
Add peanut butter or any nut butter for an extra dose of protein and healthy fats. Nutella would also be delicious!
Switch up the berries! Add some sliced bananas if desired (soak in a little lemon juice beforehand so they don’t turn brown).
For a themed holiday like Valentine's Day use heart cookie cutters for pancakes and waffles, and use raspberries, strawberries and strawberry cream cheese to keep with the pink and red theme.
For a large crowd, serve with cheese platters and additional fruit platters, or make my tropical fruit salad (so good).
