Breakfast Charcuterie Cups are the adorable, handheld version of a charcuterie board — packed into individual cups so everyone gets their own perfect mix of sweet, savory, crunchy, and bright bites. Think tiny breakfast favorites artfully arranged so each guest can grab a cup and enjoy without hovering over one big platter. They’re party-ready and perfect for occasions like Galentine’s Day get-togethers, brunches with friends, or halftime Super Bowl snacking.

Step-by-Step Directions 👩🍳
- Prep your cups. Set out your small paper cups or mini jars. Have toothpicks or mini skewers ready for staking ingredients upright.
- Start with the base.
Place a handful of granola, cereal, or fruit at the bottom of each cup. This helps hold taller items steady. - Build savory elements.
Gently fold or twist bacon strips, then stand them upright. Add sausage bites and cheese cubes on toothpicks so they’re easy to grab. - Add sweet and fresh.
Skewer mini pancakes or waffles with a berry or two. Place fruit slices and berries in between savory bites for color and balance. - Include fun treats.
Tuck in mini donut holes, cinnamon roll bites, or tiny bagel pieces on picks. If you want a little sweetness, add a mini container of syrup or honey. - Fill gaps for visual appeal.
Use yogurt dollops, extra berries, granola clusters, or mini toast points to fill spaces and create layers of texture. - Garnish and serve.
Sprinkle with fresh mint or parsley (for a pop of colour), add a toothpick flag or themed pick for Galentine’s or Super Bowl vibes, and line them up ready for guests to grab and enjoy!

Tips for Success 💡
- Balance sweet & savory: Switch up ingredients so no cup is all sweet or all savory — mix for variety🍉🥓.
- Use fun picks: Colorful toothpicks make them look themed and festive.
- Prep ahead: You can assemble components (like cooked bacon, sliced fruit, cheese cubes) ahead, then assemble cups just before serving so everything stays fresh.
- Personalize for your theme: For Galentine’s, add heart-shaped fruit or pink candies; for Super Bowl, use team-coloured picks or themed toppers!
