Blistered Tomato and Fried Egg Hummus Toasts

Ingredients

  • 8 slices256 gWhole-wheat bread8 thick slices (sourdough-style loaf if you have one)
  • 8 large400 gEggs
  • 1 can, drained254 gChickpeas, canned, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tbsp30 gTahinistirred
  • 2 tbsp30 gLemon juice
  • 2 tbsp30 gWatercold
  • 2 cloves6 gGarlicpeeled
  • ½ tsp1 gGround cumin
  • 2 cups300 gCherry tomatoeshalved
  • 1½ tbsp20 gOlive oildivided
  • ¾ tsp2 gPaprika (sweet or smoked)smoked
  • ¼ tsp0.5 gCrushed red pepper
  • 2½ tbsp chopped10 gFresh parsleychopped
  • ¼ tsp2 gSaltdivided
  • ¼ tsp0.5 gBlack pepper

Steps

  1. Make the hummus first: in a food processor, blend the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, cumin and half the salt until thick. With the motor running, add the cold water and blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the toppings before cooking: halve the cherry tomatoes and chop the parsley.
  3. Heat a large dry skillet over medium heat and toast the bread slices in batches, 2 to 3 minutes per side, until crisp and golden. Move the toast to a platter.
  4. Add about 1 teaspoon (8 g, two-fifths) of the olive oil to the skillet and raise the heat to medium-high. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook without stirring for 2 minutes, then toss and cook 2 minutes more until blistered and slumping. Transfer to a bowl.
  5. Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil. Crack in the eggs, working in batches if needed, and cook 3 to 4 minutes, covering for the last minute, until the whites are fully set and the yolks thicken; for fully safe eggs, cook until they reach 160°F (71°C) with firm yolks.
  6. Season the eggs with the remaining salt, the black pepper, the smoked paprika and the red pepper flakes.
  7. Spread the hummus over the toast, divided evenly among the 8 slices. Top each slice with the blistered tomatoes and one fried egg, scatter with the parsley and serve right away, two toasts per person.
