Who doesn’t love a good brunch get-together? Whether it’s for a special holiday or just “cheers” to the weekend, a board is sure to impress. One of the great things about a board is that it can be sized up or down for any number of people and adjusted to allow for any dietary preferences. It can require very little cooking; it’s mostly a buy-and-assemble thing. Here, we have gathered mostly pre-made items paired with fresh fruit and bacon.

When building the board always start with the star of the show, or largest items first. In this case we went with waffles. Then we placed the bowls of spreads and syrups. Lastly, we filled in the spaces with fresh fruits, granola and remaining items.
