A vibrant and flavorful hummus toast topped with a colorful mix of tomatoes, creamy feta cheese, fragrant fresh basil, and a sprinkle of za’atar spice. Perfect for a quick, healthy breakfast, snack, or light meal that combines Mediterranean flavors with the satisfying crunch of toasted sourdough bread.


Ingredients

Base

  • 4 slices of sourdough bread

Spread

  • 1 cup roasted garlic hummus (store-bought or homemade)

Toppings

  • 1 cup mixed tomatoes (heirloom, cherry, and grape), sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon za’atar spice

Finishing Touches

  • Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread: Toast your sourdough slices in a toaster or toaster oven until they are golden brown and crispy, providing a sturdy base for the toppings.
  2. Spread the Hummus: Generously spread about 1/4 cup of roasted garlic hummus onto each toasted slice, creating a creamy layer full of rich flavor.
  3. Add Tomatoes: Arrange the sliced mixed tomatoes evenly over the hummus on each slice. The assortment of heirloom, cherry, and grape tomatoes adds a colorful and flavorful variety.
  4. Sprinkle Feta Cheese: Evenly crumble and scatter the feta cheese over the tomato layer to add a tangy and creamy element to the toast.
  5. Garnish and Season: Add fresh basil leaves atop the feta, sprinkle each toast with a pinch of za’atar spice, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil to enhance all the flavors, and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of the crunchy toast, creamy hummus, juicy tomatoes, and flavorful toppings.

Notes

  • Use a good quality sourdough bread for the best texture and flavor.
  • You can substitute roasted garlic hummus with plain hummus and add a touch of garlic powder if desired.
  • Feel free to customize the tomatoes based on seasonality and preference.
  • Za’atar spice adds a unique Middle Eastern flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • This toast is best served fresh to maintain the crispiness of the bread.
