Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients

  1. Cook the Waffles: Prepare your waffles fresh or reheat store-bought ones in the toaster for that crisp, warm texture. Cut some into halves or quarters for variety.
  2. Cook Savory Items: Fry up bacon and sausage, scramble eggs, or slice hard-boiled eggs for savory additions.
  3. Prep Fruits: Wash and slice fruits into bite-sized pieces for easy grabbing.
  4. Arrange Condiments: Pour syrups, honey, and spreads into small bowls for easy serving.

Assemble the Board

  1. Start with the Waffles: Arrange the waffles in a prominent spot on your board or platter. Stack them neatly or fan them out for visual appeal.
  2. Add Fruits: Scatter fruits around the waffles, creating colorful sections that catch the eye.
  3. Place Savory Items: Fill in with bacon, sausage, and eggs, ensuring there’s a good mix of sweet and savory across the board.
  4. Add Toppings and Extras: Sprinkle nuts, granola, or coconut in small clusters. Position syrups and spreads in bowls around the board.
  5. Garnish for Flair: Add a few fresh herbs like mint leaves or a dusting of powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
