Mediterranean Breakfast Board

Step 1

Make the falafel according to this recipe. You will need to begin at least the night before to soak the chickpeas. See notes below for working ahead. (You may also buy falafel at a local Middle Eastern store.)

Step 2

Make the hummus according to this recipe, and Baba ganoush according to this recipe. You can prepare both of these the night before and store in the fridge. If you like, try roasted garlic hummus or roasted red pepper hummus to change things up. (If you don't have the time, use quality store-bought hummus.)

Step 3

Slice feta cheese, or prepare Labneh ahead of time according to this recipe.

Step 4

Make tabouli according to this recipe. Can be made a couple days in advance and refrigerated in tight-lid glass containers.

Step 5

To assemble the Mediterranean breakfast board, place the hummus, baba ganoush, olive oil, za'atar, tabouli in bowls. Place the largest bowl in the center of a large wooden board or platter to create a focal point. Arrange the remaining bowls on different parts of the board or platter to create movement and shape. Use the gaps between the bowls to place the remaining ingredients like falafel, sliced vegetables, and pita bread. Add grapes and garnish with fresh herbs, if you like.
