  7. Group the cheese cubes together in a distinct area.
  8. Place the halved hard-boiled eggs strategically around the board for visual balance.

Notes

  • Use seasonal fruit for the best flavor and color contrast on your breakfast platter.
  • For an easier setup, you can use store-bought mini pancakes or waffles.
  • This grazing board works well for a brunch charcuterie setup; aim for odd numbers of items for better visual appeal.
