How To Store Breakfast Charcuterie Board

Make sure you can estimate the servings when building your charcuterie breakfast board, so you won’t be left with a ton of leftovers. The good news is that most breakfast items don’t spoil easily, but don’t be surprised if there will be some obvious non-favorites in your platter (i.e., radishes versus Nutella. 😅)

• Fridge: Store your breakfast charcuterie board leftovers in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for 2 to 3 days. I recommend combining similar ingredients in a single container to avoid texture and flavor changes during storage.
• Reheating: You can heat your meats and bread slices in the toaster oven until warmed through. Some veggie and fruit slices can be eaten straight out of the fridge!
