Brunch Board for 2
A Brunch Board for 2 is such a delicious and fun way to start your day. This easy breakfast board is filled with a variety of breakfast favorites, fresh fruits, dips, and sweet treats—all arranged on a simple wooden board.
Charcuterie-style boards have become so popular, and I’ve had so much fun creating different versions for every occasion. This brunch board was one of my first, and it turned out to be such a relaxing and enjoyable meal for my husband and I.
HOW TO MAKE A BRUNCH BOARD FOR 2:

INSTRUCTIONS
- Start with your board
A 12–13 inch round wooden board works perfectly for two people. - Add bowls and dips first
Place a small bowl of fruit or dips near the center. - Arrange larger items
Add meats, pastries, and warm items around the board. - Fill in the spaces
Use fruit and smaller items to fill gaps and add color. - Serve and enjoy
Set out plates, utensils, and beverages, and enjoy at your own pace.
To create this brunch board, I used a 13-inch round wooden cutting board.
I made this board on a quiet morning when we didn’t have anywhere to be, and it turned into such a nice time just sitting, talking, and enjoying the food together.
I’ve also made similar boards for my grandchildren to enjoy by the pool—just adjust the size and ingredients for your group.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this board in advance?
This board is best served fresh. However, you can prep ingredients ahead:
Cook meats and reheat before serving
Wash and cut fruits
Store items separately and assemble just before serving
What if I don’t have a wooden board?
You can use anything you have and it will look great. Some ideas are platters, baking pans, cutting boards, plastic trays, and flat dishes. I pick a lot up at The Dollar Tree for holidays. They always have Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, 4th of July etc. If you are not using a plastic or glass tray, place a sheet of parchment paper on it before you add the food. Some wooden boards are not food safe.
This Brunch Board for 2 is a simple way to turn an ordinary morning into something special. Whether it’s for a quiet weekend at home or a small gathering, it’s a beautiful and delicious way to serve breakfast.
