Notes

Pro Tips

  • Fill the empty spaces with (allergy-appropriate!) nuts, candies like chocolate chips, or macarons!
  • Consider a theme for your board, like using seasonal ingredients or holiday flavors. For example, include pumpkin-flavored items for a fall brunch or heart-shaped items for a Valentine's Day breakfast.
  • Label each item on the board with small signs or cards to help guests identify what they're eating.
  • Keep your guests' dietary restrictions in mind and offer alternatives when possible.
  • Do not keep your grazing boards out for more than 2 hours, this is when refrigerated foods reach the dangerous temperature zone where bacteria thrive.
