Name: Mediterranean Hummus Toast
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 5 min
Total time: 20 min
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients: 4 slices of sourdough bread (1/2 inch thick); 1 cup homemade or store-bought hummus; 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved; 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced; 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced; 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled; 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling; 1 tablespoon za'atar spice blend; 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped; 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice; 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional); Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Toast the bread

Brush the sourdough slices with olive oil on both sides. Toast in a skillet over medium heat or in a toaster until golden brown and crisp around the edges, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Prepare the hummus base

Spread a generous layer of hummus (about 1/4 cup) onto each slice of toasted bread, creating a thick, even layer.
Add the fresh vegetables

Arrange the sliced cucumber and halved cherry tomatoes on top of the hummus. Distribute the Kalamata olives evenly among the four toasts.
Finish with cheese and seasonings

Sprinkle each toast with crumbled feta cheese. Dust with za'atar spice blend and add a light sprinkle of red pepper flakes if using.
Garnish and serve

Drizzle each toast with additional olive oil and fresh lemon juice. Top with chopped parsley, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately while the bread is still warm and crisp.
