We’re all about making fun holiday memories with our family and that’s the purpose behind this adorable Shamrock Breakfast Platter. It takes very little time to make, and you can load it up with all your own family’s favorites. We’ve loaded ours with green pancakes, shamrock avocado toasts, fresh fruit, and more.
Plan ahead by grabbing a few green foods on your trip to the grocery store, so you’ll be all ready to whip up this spread on St. Patrick’s Day. Set it on the table as a center piece and everyone can pick and choose what they want.
Helpful Tips
- Prep ahead of time: To make your morning stress-free, consider prepping some components the night before. You can mix the pancake batter and store it in the refrigerator, slice the fruits, and even prepare the avocado mash. This way, you can quickly assemble the platter in the morning and enjoy a leisurely breakfast with your family.
- Customize for dietary preferences: Feel free to adapt the platter to accommodate any dietary restrictions or preferences. For gluten-free options, use gluten-free flour for the pancakes and gluten-free bread for the avocado toasts. You can also add more fruits and vegetables or swap out ingredients to suit your family’s tastes, ensuring everyone can enjoy the meal.
- Get creative with presentation: Make your platter visually appealing by arranging the items in a fun and festive way. Use cookie cutters to shape fruits, cheeses, and toasts into shamrock forms, and consider adding colorful garnishes like fresh herbs or edible flowers. A beautiful presentation will make the meal more exciting and festive for your St. Patrick’s Day celebration!
