Lazy Saturday afternoon nosh, perfect for 2 with a bottle of Rose, or a great group starter while the charcoal is heating for the grill. We also like to put the ingredients in separate tubs and take it for a picnic. The Buttery Babe Instant Mezze Platter is great because it is only the things you want, and all from the store! This is not a real recipe - more of a friendly tip sheet. Everything can come from the grocery store or produce market on your way home from work - I noted where I usually get each ingredient.

- 6 Minute Boiled Eggs, drizzle with Tahini or Mayo and a sprinkle of Za'atar - make it easier with some nice chunks of feta!

- Arrange everything so the colors and textures are varied.
- Eat and enjoy - bask in your creativity and kitchen confidence!
