Feed a houseful of hungry guests the easy way, without standing behind the griddle for hours. How? By letting them help themselves from a gorgeous selection that offers something for everyone. (Martha Stewart Living)

The strategy: you do the setup and they do the serving. Let your guests help themselves, creating their own sweet or savory flavor combinations. Toast a few trays of hearty
whole-grain bread and offer the slices with platters of meats, smoked fish, and cheeses; bowls of fruit; presliced or precooked vegetables; soft-cooked eggs; and, of course, plenty of options for schmearing, drizzling, and sprinkling.
Here are some suggestions -- but really, the options are endless.
• Sauteed Spinach with Garlic + Soft-Cooked Egg (For perfect soft-cooked eggs: Boil water, add eggs, cook 5 minutes. Drain -- and you’re done.)
• Raspberry Jam + Aged Goat Cheese
• Coconut Oil + Banana + Coconut Flakes
• Sliced Ham + Dried Apricots
• Smashed Tomatoes + Bacon + Parsley
• Maple Syrup + Flaxseeds + Pecans
• Labneh + Grapes + Almonds
• Smoked Salmon + Scallions
• Grainy Mustard + Salami + Cucumber

Antipasto (plural antipasti) is the traditional first course of a formal Italian meal. Typical ingredients of a traditional antipasto include cured meats, olives, peperoncini, mushrooms, anchovies, artichoke hearts, various cheeses (such as provolone or mozzarella), pickled meats, and vegetables in oil or vinegar. - wikipedia
