A make-your-own Mimosa Board is a brunch must have! Just put a variety of fresh fruits and juices along with chilled champagne and some breakfasty bites on the board, then let everyone have fun mixing their own mimosa…

We sometimes like to add sunny-side-up eggs so we can make a biscuit sandwich with the eggs, bacon and cheddar cheese. It’s so delicious to dip the biscuit sandwich in the egg yolk drippings. Yummy yum!

What to serve with halved boiled eggs?

Place the halved boiled eggs, crispy bacon and other breakfast ingredients on a large serving board/platter and serve with hot coffee and fresh pressed orange juice.

I cooked these eggs for 6 minutes as I wanted them to be set throughout but have creamy yolks. 4-5 minutes = soft, 5-6 minutes = jammy yolks, 6-7 minutes = hard boiled.

Boiled eggs are perfect as they can be made the night before. Scrambled eggs are also great when cooking for a crowd. Poached eggs can be made ahead and kept in a bowl of water in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. I love cooking bacon in a hot oven on a sheet pan (and you have to heat the croissants anyway).

I love cooking bacon in a hot oven on a sheet pan (and you have to heat the croissants anyway). It’s a no-fuss way to cook a lot of bacon in one go. Breakfast sausages, smoked salmon, slices of ham or other charcuterie will also work well, as will cheese. And if you’re serving bagels, don’t forget the cream cheese.
