Step Three:
The day of: Toast waffles, warm croissants and split bagels. Reheat bacon and sausage. Place fruit dip, whipped cream cheese and jams in decorative bowls. On a large serving platter (or baking tray), arrange fruits, breads, proteins and garnishes in a casual, yet elegant way. Place the fruit around the fruit dip and the cream cheese near the bagels. Serve with fresh juice or brewed coffee (with a splash of cream, of course) with your breakfast board.
