With everything going on in the world right now, the one thing that we continue to be grateful for is being able to make delicious meals with items that we either already have at home or ones that have been abundantly available when we’ve made our quick weekly trips to the grocery stores.
Why not dine in diner style with your family right at home with the ultimate breakfast board? This breakfast board is filled with easy to make chocolate chip and funfetti pancakes, quiches, cheesy hash browns along with a delicious variety of fruits.
If you don’t have a large charcuterie board, you can easily use 1-2 small charcuterie boards that you have at home.
*Tip: You can also use wooden cutting boards to display the food. Just line it with parchment paper.
We recommend washing, drying and cutting the fruits up before you begin to make the pancakes, quiches and cheesy hash browns. Once washed and dried, put them in the refrigerator, covered. This way you can serve the food as it all comes out of the oven and off the stove. When it comes to cooking, make the quiches and cheesy hash browns first so as they are baking in the oven, you can make the pancakes! If your family enjoys having meat for their diner style breakfasts, you can add bacon strips and sausages to your board. The recipes below serve 4-6 people (with some leftovers depending on your families appetite), so feel free to adjust the quantity of ingredients as it fits for your family. Don’t have all the ingredients below? Don’t worry, be creative with what you have!
