Join me in the kitchen as I make a fun and fabulous waffle board for brunch!

Mix it Up!

And since we have it so often, it’s also fun to mix up. While my Classic Crispy Waffles are such a perfect waffle for a Build-Your-Own Waffle Board, sometimes I’ll go with French Toast Waffle Sticks, or Blueberry Cake Waffles for some added variety with still lots of yum.

Occasionally, we’ll add scrambled eggs, sunny-side-up eggs or egg bites and even some Baked Crispy Chicken Tenders or chicken nuggets to the board for a good protein option. They are all a huge hit!

We also enjoy mixing up the toppings. Of course, butter and maple syrup are a must have on a waffle board. Some of our other favorite toppings are fresh fruit, peanut butter, Nutella, honey, pecans, chocolate chips, sprinkles and whipped cream.

Build the Perfect Waffle

How would you top your perfect waffle?! I love peanut butter on my waffles so I usually go with peanut butter and then banana, berries, nuts and a drizzle of maple syrup on one and maybe strawberries and chocolate chips on the other. I topped one of my waffles with butter, chicken nuggets, blueberries, pecans, and honey. Oh my yum!

Build-Your-Own Waffle Board Ingredients

Board Supplies

I think a Belgian Waffle Maker makes such perfectly crisp waffles every time!

Some of my favorite boards to use for a build-your-own board are this 24” x 18” wood board and this 20″ round board.

I most often use these small serving bowls, these Mason jars and these square serving bowls to serve all of the toppings out of on the board. I also use a small gravy boat for the maple syrup because it’s great to heat the syrup up in the microwave and easy to pour the syrup onto our waffles with.

How to Build a Waffle Board

1. Wash and slice the fruit to have it ready to put on the board first. Set out the butter to soften.
2. Bake the bacon.
3. Heat the chicken nuggets according to recipe or package instructions.
4. While the bacon and chicken nuggets are cooking, make the waffles: Classic Crispy Waffles, Blueberry Cake Waffles, French Toast Waffle Sticks
5. When the bacon is finished baking, turn the oven down to 200°F. Keep the cooked waffles, baked bacon and chicken nuggets in the warm oven while you arrange everything on the board.
6. Put all of the spreads, fruits, drizzles and toppings in small bowls or jars.
7. Place the bowls of spreads down one side of the board and put the honey and pecans just below them.
8. Next, place the bowls of fruits on the other side of the board and put the sprinkles and chocolate chips above them.
9. Now it’s time to add the warm foods. Place the bacon and chicken nuggets on opposite corners of the board. 
10. Warm the maple syrup in the microwave and place it in the middle of the board.
11. Finish by placing the warm waffles down the middle of the board, above and below the maple syrup.
12. Serve immediately while everything is warm. Enjoy!
