Expert Tips

  • This board isbest stored disassembledso the pancakes, waffles, and croissants don’t soak up any juice from the fruit. The fruit will last 4-5 days in the fridge. everything else can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • If you don’t mind getting your board a little messy, then filling a small gravy boat or bowl with maple syrup can make a fun addition to this board.You can also provide a small bowl or chocolate sauce or Nutella.
  • You caneasily customize this board to feed more or fewer people. The limitless ingredient options make it easy to appease any crowd and accommodate a variety of food allergies.
  • Costco sells a delicious chocolate croissant. However, you can also use regular croissants or your favorite breakfast pastry. A nice flakey pastry adds some fun flavor to this breakfast board.
  • Other fruit you can use includes blackberries, raspberries, and kiwi. While you can use any fruit,I like to stick with fruit that pairs nicely with the pancakes and waffles.

How to Store Your Charcuterie Board

This board is best stored disassembled so the pancakes, waffles, and croissants don’t soak up any juice from the fruit. Store your fruit by lining an airtight container with paper towels. You can either store the fruit mixed together or in separate containers. You can store the pancakes, waffles, and croissants in a container or ziploc bag together. Everything can be stored in the fridge for 4-5 days.

When reassembling your board you’ll want to reheat your pancakes and waffles for about 45 seconds. I like to reheat them separately so I don’t overcrowd the microwave. Doing so will increase the cook time. It is not necessary to heat up the croissants, but you can zap them in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them nice and soft.
