For fall hosting, serve a Fall French Toast Breakfast Board. Make French toast; assemble bites of fall–fresh fruit, cinnamon rolls, jellies, and syrup!

Friends, when I think of the fall season, I start getting excited for the holidays! Maybe you’ll be hosting out-of-towners, or friends and family this year, like we will be.

My new boards are FOOD SAFE, and made in the USA, and find them on The Big Board page! Or find the links at the bottom of this page!

French Toast Breakfast Board

A breakfast or brunch board [this Fall French Toast Breakfast Board] is a fun way to bring people together in the warmth of your home. Probably the favorite day of the week for a breakfast board is a Sunday!

Fall French Toast Breakfast Board

All you need for this board is your favorite French toast recipe, cinnamon rolls (or possibly Best Sour Cream Banana Bread?), jellies, syrup, and fruits in season!

And for this board I served it on the 24-inch board (link at the bottom of the post).

We used oranges, cinnamon rolls, pear and berry jams, and garnished the platter with a few fall-colored flowers.

How to prepare a breakfast board

Maybe you’re going to church, and you want to serve brunch (closer to lunch) when you return.

  1. Plan ahead and shop for ingredients.
  2. Do prep work ahead–prepare the fruit, put the jellies in dishes, syrup in cups, etc.
  3. Make the French toast mixture ahead.
  4. Arrange as much as you can on the board ahead of time, leaving room for the “hot” plates of French toast.
  5. Make the French toast and keep warm in the oven until serving.
  6. Set dishes, paper napkins and forks out.

How to host a Sunday brunch

What I love about the breakfast or dinner boards is that initially you put some time into planning and creating the board, but then once you set it out with the hot food – EVERYONE DIGS IN.

Make your favorite French toast recipe

You can make my Challah French Toast Breakfast Recipe below, inspired by Ina Garten, or make your family-favorite recipe.

Serve with delicious maple syprup and favorite jellies.

You get to sit down and enjoy your guests.

You don’t have to set a fancy table.

Just set out dinner plates, paper napkins, and forks.

We like to serve espresso for those who want a quick “pick-me-up.”

The benefits of serving breakfast boards

Friends, I believe people all around us are craving fellowship. And I’m reminded all the time, when I create my dinner boards or charcuterie boards, my main focus and goal is to bring people together in a casual setting. There’s really nothing fancy about serving food this way. In fact, I believe it’s more functional than a traditional sit-down meal.

It’s functional because it creates a certain hygge, a warm feeling (all the food in one place), a cozy atmosphere!
