Tasty Tips for Crafting Your Own Custom Brunch Board
Spend more time enjoying your guests and less time in the kitchen when you build your brunch around a stunning and scrumptious selection of simple-to-serve eats and treats.
- Start by choosing a few items that can provide a solid base – like our fresh artisan Bakery baguettes, all-butter croissants, morning muffins, or assorted bagels.
- Offer a variety of protein options that cater to varied preferences, from our signature bacon (cook it ahead of time) to seafood spreads, Murray’s cheeses, etc.
- Create a well-rounded feast by balancing your base and proteins with fresh cut fruit and berry bowls, nut butters and spreads, and don’t forget our donuts!
- Keep your brunch simple by serving only one main/star dish that complements the rest of your brunch board and leaves a lasting impression on your guests.
- Don't hesitate to use what you have on hand, from your favorite ingredients in your kitchen to serving boards in your cabinet – they add a personal touch.
- Most of all, everyone will enjoy a casual and fun atmosphere where they can serve themselves and interact with each other and most importantly YOU.
