This is the ultimate summer Brunch Board…so good, made on our largest BIG BOARD. (Originally posted in July 2019.)

You may want to also try my Epic Silver Dollar Pancake Board or Trader Joe’s EPIC Pumpkin Pancakes Board for brunch!
You just can’t beat a brunch spread for a large group, because there’s something for everyone to choose from! Serving brunch on the weekend is a great way to bring people together. For this board, of course if you don’t have a Trader Joe’s, all of these items can be found in your local grocery store.
Originally, this was made on a Pier One board in 2018, but the 28-inch board is no longer available (and was not food safe), which is why we came out with our own line of boards. Our largest epic board is 26-inch, with a lip around the outside (so the food stays on the board), and is FOOD SAFE.
Why we love this board
- It feeds a large group.
- You can heat the waffles up in the oven all at the same time (to serve hot).
- It’s beautiful and festive.
Gather ingredients to make a Summer Waffle Brunch Board:
- Trader Joe’s Multi-Grain Waffles
- Trader Joe’s Mini Tea Scones
- Trader Joe’s uncured Bavarian Bratwurst
- Large eggs: soft or hard cooked
- Maple syrup
- Butter
- Fresh cherries
- Peaches
How to make a brunch waffle board
Start with multi-grain waffles (did you know Trader Joe’s also sells gluten-free?)
Next, add a fruit in season in the middle of an epic board. (*details in the full recipe below)
- Prepare a large board or serving platter (either food safe or lay down parchment paper).
- In the center, place the sliced peaches and cherries.
- Cook the waffles according to package directions. You can use the toaster method or the oven to cook the frozen waffles. [Oven method is very quick!]
- Arrange the board with remaining food, leaving room for the hot waffles.
- Right before serving, add the waffles and serve!
Build around it all of your favorite breakfast or brunch foods, like – scones or muffins, bratwurst or bacon, and soft-cooked eggs.
You’ll need condiments like butter, jellies, and maple syrup!
Tips and substitutions:
How do you keep the waffles hot? We toast them in the oven and then keep turn the oven to low, and keep warm until right before serving. Don’t set them out until you’re ready to eat! Let everyone dig in!
Make ahead waffles and freeze: If you have time, you can always make your own waffles ahead and freeze. But when company’s coming, or we’re hosting a brunch, I keep Trader Joe’s waffles in the freezer. They’re actually just as good as homemade.
Here are a couple homemade waffle recipes on RE:
Of course you can swap out waffles for pancakes, or bagels and scones.
Instead of brats, add bacon, sausage, or you can even leave off the meat.
So many options for making a breakfast board.

I love your ideas.
Can you tell me the size of your platter
It seems everyone I get is too small but your platter is the perfect size
This is the largest one listed below!
That is such a fun, cool idea! Love that board. I think storing it would be my biggest obstacle. :-)
Hugs!
