I love putting together a DIY Charcuterie Board because it’s easy, looks impressive, and has a little something for everyone.

Plus, it’s a great way to bring family and friends together around the table.

This board is filled with heart-shaped waffles, buttery croissants, fresh berries, and sweet spreads. Perfect for a Brunch Party!

In this post, I’ll walk you through how to make a breakfast board step by step, with plenty of tips to make it look amazing.

What Do You Need To Set Up A Brunch Charcuterie Board

Making a breakfast brunch board is super easy.

Here’s a list of all the things you need to put it all together:

Counter top with a bowl of croissants and swiss rolls, sugar cookies, Nutella, cream cheese, honey, blueberries, strawberries, jam, pecans, dried flowers, powdered sugar, sugar flowers and ingredients to make waffles

1. Start with a Large Board or Tray

You can choose a wooden board, a marble slab, or even a large serving platter. Just make sure it’s big enough to hold all your goodies!

2. Pastries & Cookies

Next, add some bakery favorites:

8-10 heart-shaped waffles (do them with this recipe)
2-3 mini croissants (store-bought or homemade) for a flaky, buttery bite.
3-6 slices Swiss roll, preferably strawberry vanilla for a soft, sweet touch.
4-6 heart-shaped sugar cookies (or wholewheat sugar cookies) for extra fun!

3. Sweet Spreads & Dips

Small bowls of spreads make this board extra delicious:

1 cup Cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup Nutella or chocolate spread for chocolate lovers.
1/2 cup Red jam (strawberry or raspberry) for a fruity touch.

4. Fresh Fruits

Berries add color and freshness to your brunch charcuterie board:

1 cup Strawberries (hulled and halved)
1 cup Blueberries
You can also add raspberries, blackberries, or banana slices!

5. Finishing Touches

Now, let’s make it pretty! You can add:

Powdered sugar
Honey
Pecans
Edible roses
Sugar flowers or Heart Jellies (totally optional but so pretty!).

Assembling Your Breakfast Board

Now that you have all the ingredients, here’s how to put it together:

Place the heart-shaped waffles on your board.

Arrange the croissants, Swiss rolls, and cookies around them.

Tips for a Brunch Charcuterie Board Party

Want to make your brunch board even more impressive? Here are some tips:

Mix sweet and savory: Add cheeses, scrambled eggs, or even bacon.
Use different textures: Combine crispy, soft, creamy, and crunchy foods.
Make it colorful: A mix of reds, blues, and golden pastries makes the board pop.
Keep things fresh: You can prep most ingredients (like washing fruit and slicing pastries) the night before. But assemble the board fresh before serving.
Provide small plates and utensils: This makes it easy for guests to grab what they like.
