11 Recipes for Hummus Toast You Can’t Miss

I’m a great fan of a breakfast pick-me-up and a hummus toast is another favorite (nutrient-rich, protein, fat, fibre, crunch, creaminess, deliciousness) – so it’s another one for the fast morning breakfast list.

But perhaps most of all, hummus toast is delightfully delicious. Flavor options are seemingly endless.

Go Mediterranean with a topping of olives, tomatoes and feta, or bright and fresh with sliced avocado and microgreens.

It’s a vehicle for leftover veggies that have been hanging out in the back of the fridge, and a blank palette for getting in some extra leafy greens.

The sky is the limit. It’ll go with anything.

I’m here to tell you about some of my best recipes, lets dive in.
