PROCESS

1- The main item on this breakfast board is falafel.

2- Dips. Creamy hummus and baba ghanoush (aubergine dip) are always winners. Both can be prepared the night before and stored in tight-lid glass containers in the fridge.

4- Cheese. Not a ton of cheese goes on the board, but just enough to add a little dairy element. I often use homemade labneh with a drizzle of olive oil on top, or, as you see on the board, a few slices of good feta cheese.

5- Fresh vegetables and marinated favourites. Here we used sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppery radish. Don't forget some marinated olives, artichokes, or mushrooms. A handful of grapes to be used as a pallet cleanser.

6- Add breads. Flatbread like pita are the perfect choice for this Mediterranean breakfast board. We like to slice the pita into quarters that easily fit on the board.
