• • Cook the bacon crispy- As boards tend to sit for a while, crispy bacon will hold its shape better than less cooked bacon that tends to be mealy.

• • Use mini pastries- So that the pastries don’t dominate the breakfast board, use mini versions of everything so that the breads aren’t much bigger than anything else.

• • Use easy to grab items- Cheese cubes, individual sausage links, plain pancakes, and berries are all easy to grab items that are not messy, for easy access on this brunch board.

• • Assemble in the right order- The bigger stuff – proteins and pastries – should go on first, then the spreads in their small bowls, and then fill in the gaps with fruit. This creates the nicest presentation and even spacing.
