Ingredients

Marinated Herbed Feta:

Mezze Board:

Directions

  1. For the marinated herbed feta: Combine the dried thyme, fennel seeds, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Lay the feta slices overlapping in the center of the board.
  2. Sprinkle the feta with the entire herb mixture. Nestle the thyme sprigs and olives among the feta slices. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. For the mezze board: Place the pine nuts into a dry sauté pan over medium-low heat for about 5-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly browned. Add hummus to a small bowl garnish with the toasted pine nuts and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, place on board. Add baba ganoush to a small bowl, a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds, and place on board. Cut the cucumber into shards and add to board in a pile. Then add cherry tomatoes on the vine to the board also arranged in a pile. Grill the slices of country bread cut into 3 inch pieces on both sides until lightly browned in a pre-heated cast-iron grill pan on medium heat and arrange on the board.
