Hummus Crostini
Hummus Crostini
Description
Indulge in the perfect bite with this stacked crispy crostini, featuring a golden, toasted baguette slice as the base. Each crostini is generously layered with creamy, homemade hummus, whipped to perfection with tahini, lemon, and a touch of garlic for a velvety, flavorful spread. Topping it off is a juicy, roasted cherry tomato, bursting with sweetness and a hint of smokiness, adding a vibrant contrast to the rich hummus. Finished with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, this bite-sized delight is a harmony of textures and flavors—crispy, creamy, and irresistibly delicious.
