Ideas of what to take to a bring a plate buffet

[anotherangel2]

A group of friends are jointly hosting a surprise birthday gathering. I need a couple of ideas for a buffet dishes, preferably veggie.

Sorry, I forgot to say please!

Tricolour salad, avacardo, tomatoe and mozzarella, drizzle with balsamic glaze and it looks very good.

Potato salad with spring onion and sesame seeds (loads of mayo)

Olive and bread platter

Stuffed vine leaves with rice

Veggie cous cous

Pasta and pesto with artichoke and red pepper (cheat and buy the antipasti jars)

I am loving these ideas.

Pineapple and cheese hedgehog

Halloumi kebabs, wraps, pasta salad, mini goats cheese tartlets, cheese muffins.

I made devilled eggs for the last buffet and they went down so well!!

Just be careful with pesto as most isn’t veggie

Selection of Indian snacks with a yoghurt dip.

A couple of types of olives you've marinaded in different herb combinations.

Half a melon stabbed with cheese/pineapple & cheese/silverskin onions on cocktail sticks! Yes the famous party hedgehog!

Cubes of frittata.

Devilled eggs.

Homemade cheese straws.

Devilled eggs seem to have had a huge resurgence in recent years I've had them
served at a number of parties recently and they're always very well received.

Not strictly veggie but at a recent party I had a lovely salmon quiche with potatoes olives and recently the veggie option was a quiche with potatoes olives.

Veggie rice/veggie cold pasta dish

Greek salad.

Mozzarella tomatoes and torn basil

Homemade hummus

Hommity pie

Homemade coleslaw

Pesto pasta

Fruit salad

Salad with blue cheese, walnuts & pear.

Couscous

Potato salad

Spanakopita

Mini tomato bruschetta on slices of French stick

Cous cous, feta and beetroot

A puff pastry tart is dead easy and looks really impressive.

This one is lovely...

Onion bhajis and pakoras

Just be careful with pesto as most isn’t veggie

I agree. If you’ve used veggie pesto, put a little flag in your dish saying so. I wouldn’t eat anything on a buffet with pesto in it because of the Parmesan.

I did mini spinich & feta pies so a similar event, they all went.

DD is dairy free so I always use veggie pesto but good idea about the flag.

Have you tried vegan haggis? I like macsweens and it makes a good veggie sausage roll.

On the pastry theme, you could make cheese / mustard or cheese / veggie pesto or cheese / caramelized onion twists or palmiers.

I also like preparing cocktail sticks with a sundried tomato, olive, basil leaf and mozzerella ball on each one.

Falafel are also quite a good addition to a buffet, lots of people like them!

Grilled halloumi, aubergine, and courgette make a great salad. Sprinkling pomegranate seeds and pine nuts on top makes it look really pretty. Could always take flatbread and humous to go with it!
