Maple + Batter's Breakfast Charcuterie Board

Tastemaker
By Anna Faller | Feb. 8, 2025

We don’t know about you, but we love a big breakfast, especially one that lets us have our cake—pancakes, that is—and eat it, too! Enter: the Breakfast Charcuterie Board ($18) at Maple + Batter in Bay Harbor. Modeled after the trendy appetizer, this AM smorgasbord is perfect for sharing and packs in all the classic morning treats, so you don’t have to choose! Here’s the breakdown: It comes with six fluffy mini pancakes (in both blueberry and chocolate chip); a few biscuits with homemade honey-butter; a Belgian-style waffle infused with maple; a selection of seasonal fruit, because balance; and to top it off, plenty of house whipped cream and maple syrup for dunking. Now that’s a breakfast of champions. Psst—don’t miss the bacon-garnished Bloody Mary to wash it all down! Tuck in at 4165 Main St. in Bay Harbor. mapleandbatter.com
