Toast with tomato, onion, & hummus FAQ:

How long should I toast the bread?

Toast the bread for about 3-5 minutes or until it reaches a golden brown color and is crisp to your liking.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

While the toast is best served immediately, you can prepare the toppings (diced tomato and chopped onion) in advance and store them in the refrigerator for up to a day.

What can I substitute for hummus?

You can substitute hummus with avocado, cream cheese, or any spread of your choice, though this will alter the flavor profile.

What type of onion is best for this recipe?

A red onion is commonly used for its milder flavor, but you can use yellow or white onions based on your preference.

How can I store leftover toast?

To maintain texture, it's best to eat the toast fresh. If you have leftovers with toppings, store the toppings in an airtight container in the fridge and toast a new slice when you're ready to eat.

Tips:

- For extra flavor, you can toast the whole-wheat bread to your desired level of crispiness before adding the toppings.

- Using a ripe tomato will enhance the juicy and sweet flavor profile of the dish.

- If you prefer a stronger onion flavor, consider using red onion instead of a regular one. You can also lightly sauté the onions for a milder taste.

- Feel free to sprinkle additional herbs like basil or parsley for more freshness and complexity in flavor.

- For added richness, drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the top before serving.
