Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 batch small pancakes or silver dollar pancakes
  • 1 dozen mini quiches or frittata bites
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, halved
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 cup sliced kiwi
  • 1 cup sliced cantaloupe or melon
  • 1/2 cup cooked rhubarb compote
  • 8 small croissants or mini muffins
  • 4 oz smoked salmon slices
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
  • 1/4 cup toasted pecans or walnuts
  • Small jar of honey or maple syrup
  • Optional: Edible flowers for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare all components: Bake or warm the mini quiches, make the pancakes, and prepare the rhubarb compote ahead of time.
  2. Select a large wooden board or platter to serve as your base for the breakfast charcuterie board.
  3. Place small bowls or ramekins on the board for wet items like the rhubarb compote and honey/syrup.
  4. Arrange the larger items first: Place the stack of pancakes in one section and the mini quiches or frittata bites in another.
  5. Create visual interest by grouping colors: Place the smoked salmon near the cream cheese.
  6. Fill in the spaces: Artfully arrange the fresh fruit (strawberries, raspberries, kiwi, melon) around the main items, ensuring a colorful fruit display.
  7. Add texture: Scatter the toasted nuts in small gaps.
  8. Prepare the cream cheese: Mix the softened cream cheese with half of the chopped chives. Place this mixture in a small bowl or pipe it onto the board.
  9. Garnish the board: Sprinkle the remaining chives over the salmon or cream cheese. Add edible flowers if using for extra whimsy.
  10. Serve immediately for a delightful brunch board for Mom.

Notes

  • For easy assembly, make the pancakes the day before and reheat them briefly before serving.
  • Use small cookie cutters to cut fruit slices into fun shapes for a more whimsical look.
  • If you prefer savory finger foods for brunch, substitute bacon strips or small sausage links for some of the fruit.
  • To keep the board looking fresh, add delicate items like berries just before serving.
