This board is in Charcuterie Lab: Boards for Two, with 24 more boards for two. The book has the shopping list for two with amounts and prices, the prep countdown, the step-by-step build and the drink to pour.

Why it works

This is a breakfast tray more than a cheese board. Mini croissants with brie or Gruyère and thin ham or prosciutto make little breakfast sandwiches, and butter and jam are there for anyone who just wants a warm croissant.

Greek yogurt, granola and berries make it filling without making it heavy, and honey ties the sweet and savory sides together. It's sized as a light breakfast for two, with coffee and orange juice.

Timeline

Questions

What goes on a breakfast board?

Mini croissants, a soft cheese and a firm one, thin ham or prosciutto, butter and jam, Greek yogurt, granola, berries and honey.

Can I warm the croissants?

Yes. Five minutes in a 350°F oven makes store-bought croissants taste fresh. Add the cheese after so it doesn't melt onto the tray.

Can I prep it the night before?

Wash the berries and portion the yogurt and granola the night before. Build the tray in the morning, about 10 minutes.
