Notes
Eden's Tips for a Stunning Mezze Platter
Choose quality over quantity: It's better to have fewer items of higher quality than too many mediocre options. Splurge on really good olive oil for drizzling and fresh pita from a local bakery if possible!
Create color contrast: Arrange items with different colors next to each other – place bright red tomatoes near green olives or white feta cheese for visual pop.
Think about temperature: Serve your mezze platter at room temperature for the best flavor. Take cheese and dips out of the fridge about 30 minutes before serving.
Add fresh herbs: Tuck sprigs of fresh mint, dill, or parsley around the platter for color and aroma. They're not just garnish – guests can add them to their bites for extra flavor!
Don't forget the extras: Small bowls of flaky sea salt, za'atar, or sumac placed around the platter let guests customize their bites.
Refill strategically: For longer gatherings, keep backup supplies of popular items ready in the fridge to refill as needed rather than putting everything out at once.
Make it accessible: Place the platter where everyone can reach it easily, and provide small plates so guests can build their perfect bite without hovering over the board.
How to Toast Pita Bread
There is nothing better to dip in hummus than pillowy soft pita bread! Serve warm with salt and olive oil and everyone will be happy!
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Cut the pita bread into 4 triangles. You can do 8 triangles if you prefer smaller pieces.
- Place in a single layer on a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil and salt.
- Bake in the oven for about 7 minutes. You want the pita to still be soft, but warm.
