Guys, it’s time we talk about hummus toast!
As you may have seen on Instagram, I’ve been having a bit of a moment with hummus toast lately. Somewhat amazingly, the idea had actually never occurred to me to spread my favorite creamy dip on toasted bread until we spotted it on the menu at our favorite little neighborhood breakfast spot here in Barcelona. But once we saw hummus and toast in the same sentence, both Barclay and I were like — “of course.” Sure enough, we were instant fans, and have been happily hummus-ing all of our toast ever since.
So today, I thought it was high time to share a few of our fave variations with you! As you can imagine, the options for how to customize your hummus toast are deliciously limitless. From choosing your favorite kind of bread (any kind will do), to your favorite kind of hummus (homemade or store-bought, you pick!), to whatever combo of sweet or savory, easy or elaborate, healthy or decadent toppings you might be craving — when it comes to crafting the perfect hummus toast, you do you.
I’ve included eight of our favorite ingredient combos here below. And we can vouch that they taste great anytime of day. So if you’re looking for a quick and healthy new idea for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacking, grab your favorite bread and hummus and give it a try! If you’re at all like us, I have a feeling you’re going to be instant hummus toast fans too.
Hummus Toast Ingredients:
The main ingredients in hummus toast are easy. You simply need:
- Bread: Any kind will do, toasted to your desired level of crispiness.
- Hummus: Whip up a batch of homemade hummus or pick up your favorite variety at the store, whatever works!
Then comes the fun part — toppings! Often we just sprinkle ours with a few shakes of salt and pepper (or everything bagel seasoning), plus maybe a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten things up. But if you would like to take things to the next level, see below for eight of our favorite topping combos.
How To Make Hummus Toast:
To make hummus toast, simply:
- Toast up your bread: Either in the toaster or toaster oven, if you’re making a small batch. Or if you happen to be making a large batch of hummus toast for a party, you can arrange slices of bread in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast them up in the oven.
- Spread on the hummus: Next, spread on your desired amount of hummus.
- Sprinkle on the toppings: Whatever you may be craving, then…
- Enjoy! Hummus toast is definitely best enjoyed right away. So dig in!

Try making the banana hummus toast with chocolate hummus. There are recipes for chocolate hummus online. Drizzle it with chocolate or caramel sauce. You can also replace the bread base with toasted angel food cake slices or pound cake slices or a fried flour tortilla with cinnamon sugar for a dessert!
In India fruit salads or melon pieces are sprinkled with sweet curry. I used Pensey’s sweet curry instead of cinnamon on this banana hummus toast and it was delicious. The mild spiciest of the sweet curry contrasts nicely with the sweet banana.
I love the picture showing all the variations of the hummus toasts! Great visual! So colorful!
Have you ever thought of offering this picture as a laminated sheet (with recipes on back) in standard paper size with pre punched 3 holes for 3 ring binder, and selling it for a small fee? If you had other recipes, like variations of oatmeal, tacos, etc., you could do the same. Or make it poster size to hang in the kitchen!
These are great for teaching young children how to cook at an early age! Thanks for such great recipes!
I also like hummus toast with chorizo slices and roasted red pepper
