Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes. I often prep it in the morning before the girls wake up, then finish it right before dinner. Waffles and bacon can be cooked ahead and reheated in the oven. Keep sauces and whipped cream until just before serving.

How do I keep waffles crisp while holding them?

Use a warm oven set to 200 F with a wire rack. Place waffles in a single layer so hot air circulates and keeps edges crisp.

Is there a good substitute for whipped cream?

Plain Greek yogurt with a touch of honey and vanilla makes a great substitute. It adds protein and a pleasant tang that pairs well with fruit.

What is the best way to reheat bacon?

Lay bacon on a wire rack set over a sheet pan and bake at 350 F for 5 to 8 minutes until warmed and crisp. This avoids sogginess.

Can children help assemble the board?

Absolutely. Give them small bowls and let them arrange fruit or spoon sauces. It is a fun way to make them feel involved and excited about the meal.
