From Board to Boardroom: Kick Your Catering Spreads Up a Notch

Make a statement and save time with on-trend displays

Whether you call it a food board or grazing board, these platters are perfect for feeding a catered crowd since preparation and serving can be simple, plus a variety of guest preferences can be met.

Although a traditional charcuterie board of meats, cheese, and crudites is what may have started the food-board trend, event operators are serving up spreads throughout the day — starting with breakfast.

Building a breakfast board

You might approach a breakfast board like a continental breakfast buffet, but in this case, items are packaged differently. Plan for a mix of:

• Proteins like eggs, bacon, sausage, and nut butters
• Dairy items like yogurt and cheeses
• Fruits, both fresh and preserved, like a jam
• Grains, including breads, pastries, and granola

Start your next morning event with a show-stopping display that blends savory and sweet with a Breakfast Charcuterie Board.
