Method
Cook the eggs the way you like: for soft-boiled, simmer 6.5 minutes then cool in cold water and peel; for scrambled, cook gently and keep them soft.
Toast the bread or bagels and cut into halves.
Choose a large board or platter and place any small bowls (jam, honey, butter) down first as anchors.
Arrange the cured meats in loose folds and fan out the cheeses in one area.
Fill the gaps with fruit, tomatoes, cucumber, and sliced avocado, keeping colors next to each other for a pretty spread.
Add the eggs and toast last so they stay warm.
Serve right away so everyone can build their own plate.
The step worth not rushing: Cook the eggs the way you like: for soft-boiled, simmer 6.5 minutes then cool in cold water and peel; for scrambled, cook gently and keep them soft.
