Add a wow factor to your next brunch party with a pretty & simple brunch charcuterie board!

Ingredients
- 5 ounces blueberry cheese, sliced (140 grams)
- 6 ounces gruyère (170 grams)
- 4 ounces French breakfast cheese (114 grams)
- 8 mini muffins (any flavor)
- 8 Belgian waffles
- 8 soft-boiled or hard-boiled eggs, halved
- 1/4 pound soppressata (114 grams)
- 1/4 pound prosciutto (114 grams)
- 1/3 cup strawberry preserves (105 grams)
- 1/2 pound red grapes (228 grams)
- 1/2 pound strawberries (228 grams)
- 2 Cara Cara oranges, each cut into 8 wedges
- 4 kiwis, halved
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup, for serving (170 milliliters)
Equipment
- Large wood board or platter
- Cheese knives, for serving
Instructions
- Start by arranging the sliced blueberry cheese, gruyère, and French breakfast cheese on different areas of the board. I like to arrange the cheese in a "triangle" to spread it out.
- Arrange the mini muffins on one edge of the board. Then, on the opposite edge, arrange the waffles in a staggered row to save space.
- Add a couple of rows of soft-boiled or hard-boiled eggs. Then, fold the soprressata slices into quarters and stagger them next to the cheeses in a curved pattern. Fold the prosciutto and arrange it in a pile on the board.
- Spoon the jam into a small serving bowl and place it next to the waffles. Fill in the gaps on the board with piles of grapes, strawberries, and orange slices. Lastly, place the halved kiwis in any small gaps on the board. Serve with maple syrup on the side and enjoy!
Notes
The above ingredients are what I used on my board. However, feel free to use any of your favorite meats, cheeses, fruits, & pastries. See the blog post for more ideas!
I like to use a mix of store-bought and homemade pastries for ease. (For example, on this board I used homemade muffins but store-bought Belgium waffles.) I also recommend heading to a local bakery to get a mix of delicious, high-quality baked goods. Choose pastries that are more time consuming like croissants or canelé and save easier recipes like muffins or scones to make at home. Of course, you can go all store-bought if you want to keep things extra easy!
Let the cheese sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes before serving. This will bring out all of the best flavors and textures!
You can prep the ingredients the night before and assemble the board in the morning. I don't recommend making the board the night before or the meats and cheeses will dry out.
This board will serve 8 as an appetizer or a smaller group as a meal. Feel free to scale the board up for a bigger party!
