What are your favourite mezze style dishes?

I like thinly sliced chorizo sauteed in cider

I live in the Middle East, and I make this lebheh dip to much fanfare! http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/fried-scallion-dip-with-lebneh Serve with Arabic bread (or Egyptian bread if you can find it). It's also great with crudites.

i vote muhammara ! it's made with red peppers, walnuts, pomegranate molasses, onions, breadcrumbs, and spices ... it's incredible and different from the typical hummus spread for a mezze. (that being said, hummus is amazing!!)

This one is just simple assembly https://food52.com/recipes/25262-spanish-fly-olives-almonds-and-anchovies but the key is to find good boquerones and meaty olives.

Another idea I borrowed from Jose Andres is simply shishito peppers just blistered in hot oil and sprinkled with Maldon salt. This ain't umami it's yo mommy callin'.

I made a baklava cheesecake years ago... I made a 10" cheese cake flavored with honey & baked it. I cut 10 10" circles from phyllo, layered 5 with butter, sprinkled that with ground walnuts & sugar, with a little cinnamon & clove, and layered the rest of the phyllo circles with butter & put that on top of the walnuts. I cut the top layers into 12 wedges, then baked the phyllo layer at 350 until it was golden brown. Then I poured a syrup of thinned honey (about 1/2 cup) heated with lemon peel over the baked phyllo layer, 1/4 c first then 1/4 cup 20 minutes later, then let it cool--cut it all the way through into the 12 wedges and place the wedges on top of the baked cheesecake--cut between wedges to serve

Not sure about the cheesecake but here's a nice article about the meze to get you started:
