Think outside of the box with savory French Toast! This Savory Cheese & Hummus French Toast is bursting with flavor from garlic, cheese, hummus, and a perfectly runny egg. The perfect brunch or brinner.
It’s no secret that my favorite meal of the day is breakfast. Oddly, that does not mean I’m a morning person. Since I’m more of a night owl and rarely get up early enough to make a hot breakfast, I’ve been a fan of eating breakfast all day long.
You may recognize this pic from Instragram. Yesterday morning I asked you to guess what it was and a couple got it! It was this savory cheesy hummus french toast.
It may look like a lot, but this was the EASIEST thing to throw together. All you need for the eggy dip is some egg white and hummus. It’s not that strange… it’s really just savory eggs with bread.
I added some spices too, but you can do your own thing depending on the flavors you’re craving. I’ve also done this with Mexican-inspired flavors and topped it with salsa. That didn’t suck either. 😉
On my brinner version, I included carrot, tomato, hemp hearts, and avocado. Of course, I finished it with a little #yolkporn. The yolk acts as the syrup and it is just glorious… I don’t know what else to tell you. (If you’ve seen my waffles, you know it’s an addiction I have.)
The bread I used as the base is a brand new gluten-free flavor from Canyon Bakehouse – Hawaiian Bread. I love the sweet and savory vibe, but you can use whatever you like!
Linking up to Meatless Monday with Deborah & Sarah!

It may sound odd, hummus makes an excellent topping for salmon. It melts over the top of this Hummus Crusted Salmon, keeping the fish flavorful and its natural moisture locked in.

Cooking is hard on one foot.
Rather, motivating to cook is hard.
I’m feeling a bit better now – limping much faster – but it was a struggle earlier in the week. Sunday morning it took me 3 hours to convince myself to get up to make breakfast. If you know me at all, you know that if I delay a meal, the struggle is real. When I finally dragged my ass off the couch, I knew I had to make it worth the effort. That’s just what I did with the strange sweet ‘n spicy combo.
Hatch chiles are only in season for a few weeks. They’re grown in one region, the Hatch Valley, along the Rio Grande in New Mexico. The terroir gives them an deliciously strange smoky, earthy flavor. I’m in love.
Craving some sweetness for breakfast, I loaded up my last Julian Bakery coconut wrap with cherries too. I sautéed the hatch chiles and cherries with a bit of turkey (totally optional), and I added a schmear of Roots sriracha-mango hummus. (I had to mix in more sriracha… some like it hot!)
It’s not breakfast without #yolkporn. If you’ve never bitten into a wrap or sandwich that’s stuffed with a runny egg… well, you just haven’t lived. The joy in insurmountable.
I’m not exaggerating.
That’s a wrap.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
In a small pan, sauté cherries, chile, and turkey (if using). Meanwhile, shcmear a wrap (or toast) with hummus. When cherries and chiles are softened, transfer to the wrap.
In the same pan, cook an egg to your desired level of doneness. Place egg on top of wrap, roll up, and enjoy!
Note: I added basil for garnish.

I know you’ll ask… yes, I really like the wraps. But yes, the are extremely expensive. I buy them and hoard the pack for a couple months.

Happy 4th of July!
aka National Sunburn Day.
I have a tradition of running the Peachtree Roadrace (the world’s largest 10K) and enjoying the sweltering heat sunshine. Since I’m off doing that, today’s #strangebutgood is a round of of things you might like to enjoy during your weekend festivities.
Some are stranger than others, but I assure you they’re all good. And they’re relatively quick and easy – especially the oh-so-addicting S’Mores Brownies!
