I felt inspired today to look up some beautiful Greek tea settings.
This was prompted by the idea to make some phyllo dough and some spanakopita earlier this week.
Why spanakopita works for a tea party:
- Savory Element: Tea parties need savory bites, and spanakopita (spinach and feta phyllo pastries) provides that satisfying, cheesy, herby component.
- Finger Food: Mini spanakopita triangles or pies are easy to eat without utensils, making them ideal for mingling.
- Make-Ahead: They can often be prepared in advance and baked just before serving, or even frozen, easing party prep.
- Visually Appealing: Golden, flaky phyllo pastry is always an attractive addition to a spread.
Serving Suggestions:
- Miniature Size: Opt for small triangles or use muffin tins to make mini pies for easier handling.
- Variety: Offer different fillings like mushroom, caramelized onion, or cheese for variety.
- Pairings: Serve with a yogurt mint sauce or tzatziki for dipping.
- Presentation: Arrange them on a tiered stand or alongside other sweets and savories for a beautiful display.
