Mediterranean Breakfast Platter

The Mediterranean Breakfast Platter is a hearty and flavorful way to start your day. It's packed with protein from the eggs and feta cheese, and fiber from the olives, bell peppers, and onions. The avocado adds a creamy richness, and the olive oil ties it all together. This platter is sure to keep you satisfied until lunchtime.

The Mediterranean Breakfast Platter was inspired by the traditional Turkish breakfast, which is a feast of small plates. I wanted to create a version that was easy to make and could be enjoyed any day of the week. I started with the basics: eggs, feta cheese, and olives. Then I added bell peppers and onions for a little sweetness and crunch. Finally, I topped it off with avocado for a creamy richness. The result is a breakfast platter that is both satisfying and delicious.
