Raise your hand if you need a vacation (me-me-me-me-me!). You, too, huh? I’m working extra hard this week so I can kick back as much as possible next week. My dad is fulfilling his life-long dream of visiting some national parks in the northwest and I’m meeting him at Yellowstone! I don’t know what to expect, exactly, but I cannot wait to immerse myself in otherworldly beauty.
My original concept for this crostini was to make whipped sun-dried tomato feta, but it was crazy salty. Goat cheese didn’t do, either, so I finally landed on hummus, which was just right. Bonus? It’s vegan, which is especially great if you’re serving a diverse crowd, and you might end up with extra hummus for snacking or spreading on sandwiches. I’ll be the first to point out that crostini is typically made with smaller pieces of toast (like, baguette-sized), but the best bread I could find was a big loaf, so you’re looking at some pretty hefty crostini that would make an easy dinner with a side green salad. Do whatever you’d like with this recipe—maybe you just want the hummus, maybe you want to turn it into a sandwich, maybe you’re in a hurry and want to substitute store-bought roasted garlic hummus instead. It’s all good!
