How to Make an Unnecessarily Fancy Breakfast Platter to Pair with Your Coffee
Have you ever had people over for breakfast and then totally screwed up the whole thing? You probably got too ambitious with the French toast and made a mess, didn’t you? Don’t worry—you’ll do better next time. You can put together a swanky breakfast platter with a few ingredients you don’t even have to cook. All you need to get started is a great cup of strong coffee.

As if you actually wanted a valid reason to wake up for anything other than a fresh cup of coffee, serving a fancy breakfast might be kind of, sort of, a little bit fun. As long as you have caffeine. Yes, in addition to strong coffee, you could enjoy an unnecessarily fancy breakfast platter to go with your favorite brew.

It’s sort of like a cheese platter, but for breakfast…

Anyway, here’s everything you need to pull it off.

Grind Your Coffee Beans

Prepping coffee beans is critical for a successful breakfast. Not only can you start the morning with a good whiff of freshly ground USDA Certified Organic, Fair Trade high caffeine coffee beans, but you could also whip out the French press and brew up a little mug to enjoy before everyone else makes it out of bed...

...unless everyone is already awake like a bunch of overachieving, early-rising jerks.

Arrange a Basket O’ Bread

Maybe you purchased different fancy breads and croissants from a bakery the day before.

Maybe you prepared a homemade loaf.

Maybe you ran to the store in a panic to grab a baguette.

You’ve got lots of options. Just don’t forget the butter.

Choose Your Selection of Cheeses

In case you didn’t know, cheese goes very well with coffee. Many cultures enjoy pairing the two every morning (some cultures literally put cheese into their coffee). You might be tempted to get hung up on this concept, and you wouldn’t be the first. While you might not plop cheese into the bottom of everyone’s coffee mug, you can put a variety of different cheeses on your platter, like gouda, ricotta and young chevre drizzled with honey.

Consider Other Savory Options

You might think about including other savory breakfast food options like eggs and sausage but choose them carefully. Think about the stars of the show, like the coffee and cheese. There’s no need to get carried away. After all, this isn’t a charcuterie board.

Make an Artsy Fruit Presentation

Slice up some mango and strawberries, or put some grapes and blueberries in a bowl. But definitely leave banana slices out of this. Nobody wants to see brown banana slices next to their cheese, bread and coffee. An assortment of jams would serve you better than a sliced banana ever could.

Offer Something Sweet—Because Why Not?

Fruit and nuts could fit into this category, but you could even put a little chocolate on the platter. Or, if you’ve got anyone who wants to ruin their perfectly black coffee, you could include a small sugar container.

Make Time to Brew Your Coffee

Breakfast might be the most important meal of the day, but your mornings are ultimately all about the most caffeine coffee can get you in one cup. Make sure you choose yours wisely and don’t leave it up to your guests, especially since you did all the work of creating the platter. You can even offer your favorite strong coffee with high caffeine to anyone who needs help waking up. Which means you’ll probably offer it to everyone.

There you have it—a fancy breakfast smorgasbord to pair with some great coffee, suitable for any breakfast or brunch to share with friends and family or to devour all on your own.

Let’s be honest, though. Doing all that for just yourself could be a little sad. At least invite your dog or your grandma or something.
