Vegetarian buffet ideas - not cheese!

28 replies

ChimpMcGarvey · 20/12/2021 16:50

I'm doing a vegatarian buffet for about 12 people. I already have goats cheese filo tarts, and a spinach and feta quiche on the list, as well as a cheese board.

Hit me with your ideas please!!

You can use a mixed curry spice instead of all the separate spices or just bung it all in.
Add some coconut milk if too much spice and sweet potato or aubergine.
Bloody lovely

blinkingheckthisishard · 20/12/2021 22:00

I love a voulevant at a buffet. Filled with egg mayo or prawn mayo if you are pescatarian.

Vegetarian cocktail sausages and the quorn picnic eggs are also great.

Midlander here so pickled onions are also a must!

Vegetarian chilli is always a hit at our house and dead easy to do.
