Start by boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a small pot, cover them with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 9 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.
While the eggs are cooking, prepare the vegetables. Slice the cucumber into rounds and halve the cherry tomatoes. Set aside.
Toast the pita bread in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until warm and slightly crisp. Cut each pita into wedges.
Once the eggs are done, remove them from the pot and place them in an ice bath for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.
On a large serving plate or individual plates, arrange the hummus, Greek yogurt, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and halved eggs.
Sprinkle the za'atar seasoning evenly over the hummus and drizzle olive oil on top. Crumble the feta cheese and distribute it across the plate.
Garnish with fresh parsley and season everything with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve the mezze breakfast plate immediately with warm pita wedges on the side. Enjoy!
