mediterranean brunch

A Mediterranean diet breakfast is every bit as wholsome and satisfying as it is delicious. My favorite way to serve a crowd is this Mediterranean brunch board showcasing savory, nutrition-packed favorites like falafel, hummus, baba ganoush and tabouli. Many of these items can be prepared ahead and easily assembled when you need them (see recipe notes.) Be sure to read the full post for more breakfast ideas!

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.)

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.)

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

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

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.

This is such a gorgeous spread! I need to make this asap!

I tell you what... I want to dig into that platter of delicious looking food. I love platters like that, as it always has some decent staples that I know I like and there are little morsels of unique stuff that I can try. Thank you for sharing!

Wow! This is quite the spread! I'm tucking this idea aside for a Sunday morning surprise - my fiance adn myself love this kind of food!

I love learning about what people eat for different meals in different cultures. All of these option look so delicious, and they're gorgeous!

This would be so perfect for our Sunday brunch with the whole family. I am adding it to my list to try.

Oh my goodness I want this ALL!!!  So delicious!

What a great way to have a variety of things for a breakfast buffet!

This looks amazing Suzy .. I have bookmarked for our next party -- thank you so much.

Have made this many times for weekend brunch. If I'm in a hurry Trader Joe's has frozen falafel that's actually decent.

Looking forward to your Egyptian foul mudamas recipe!

how can I make the best pita bread in the world?

All of these Mediterranean breakfast ideas absolutely perfect. There's not one on here I don't adore, and same goes for my crowd! Love this!
