Toast the Bread

Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of hummus on each slice. Use a butter knife or spoon to smooth it evenly across the surface.
Add Toppings
Layer sliced avocado and cherry tomatoes on top of the hummus-covered bread.
Season the Toast
Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over the toppings, then sprinkle with sesame seeds, salt, and pepper to taste. Optionally, add a squeeze of lemon juice for extra freshness.
Serve and Enjoy
Slice the hummus toast into halves or quarters for easy serving. Enjoy immediately for the best crunch and flavor!
Notes
Bread Options: Feel free to choose your favorite bread—sourdough, whole grain, rye, or gluten-free all work wonderfully. The key is to toast it until crispy without burning.
Toppings: You can customize your hummus toast with a variety of toppings such as roasted vegetables, eggs, or herbs. For a sweet twist, add fruit like figs or strawberries with a drizzle of honey.
Make-Ahead: While the bread and hummus can be prepared ahead of time, it’s best to assemble the toast just before serving to keep the bread crisp.
Hummus Flavor: Experiment with different flavors of hummus such as garlic, roasted red pepper, or spicy varieties to change things up.
