Ingredients:
• 2 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread
• 1/2 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 large tomato, sliced
• 2 large eggs
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, or basil), chopped, for garnish
• Olive oil (optional)
Instructions:
1. Boil the Eggs:
• Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water.
• Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 9-12 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness.
• Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice them.
2. Toast the Bread:
• While the eggs are cooling, toast the bread slices to your desired level of crispiness.
3. Assemble the Toast:
• Spread a generous amount of hummus on each slice of toasted bread.
• Arrange the tomato slices on top of the hummus.
• Place the sliced boiled eggs over the tomato.
• Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
4. Garnish and Serve:
• Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the top, if desired.
• Sprinkle with fresh herbs for added flavor and a pop of color.
• Serve immediately.
Tips:
• For extra flavor, you can rub a garlic clove on the toasted bread before spreading the hummus.
• Add some avocado slices or a sprinkle of feta cheese for variation.
• Use flavored hummus (such as roasted red pepper or garlic) to change up the taste.
