Where to begin LOL!
Here are some that I would include if having a party and want some Greek mezze: Dolmades (Stuffed Grape Leaves), Tiropira, Spanakopita (really any pita
). Although many would include dolmades as a main dish, I think it could work as an appetizer or mezze.

Thanks, I wouldn't even think to include dolmades as an appetizer either! Do you make them yourself? Or do you buy them canned?Where to begin LOL!

I’m sure you know of the classics like babaghanoush, tzatziki, olive spread, pita bread and that type of stuff. I love adding hummus and spinach/artichoke dip. It’s not traditionally Greek, but I love it!

My favorite is to serve spanakopita because it is always a show stopper. I also like to make a hummus dip where I take hummus and top it with feta cheese, chopped tomatoes, Greek olives, a sprinkling of oregano. It's an easy way to elevate store bought hummus, and it tastes great when served with pita chips.
Those are great ones!!!! Thanks!

I’m more of a meat guy so when I make mezze I like to add smaller peices of meat like cut up loukaniko (sausage) or skewers of grilled chicken. It’s nice to eat with pita bread and any of the dips, anything can really become mezze when its plated on little dishes. Good luck!

One of the things I love most about Greek honey is its versatility. You can use it in so many different ways in the kitchen. I've drizzled it over Greek yogurt for breakfast, mixed it into salad dressings for a touch of sweetness, and even used it as a glaze for roasted vegetables. The depth of flavor it adds to dishes is truly remarkable.
But perhaps my favorite way to use Greek honey is in baking. It adds a wonderful depth of flavor to cakes, cookies, and pastries. I recently made a batch of baklava using Greek honey, and it was a game-changer. The honey soaked into the layers of phyllo dough, creating a sweet and sticky treat that was absolutely irresistible.
I go out of my way to buy it - if I can't find it locally, I get it online. When I go to Greece, I get some in Greece, too.
