How to prepare this healthy French toast recipe?

I started with toast: sliced it and left it aside for a while. In the meantime, I enriched classic hummus with chopped pistachios, chives and chili powder. While hummus was in the fridge, I prepared vegetables leftovers: green bell pepper, celery, carrot slices and radishes to grab hummus once everything was served and ready to eat.

When making your own version, you may add cucumber, zucchinis, lettuce, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage leaves, chayote , fennel, kohlrabi, spring onions and so many more to serve with hummus toast ……

 

The easiest way to prepare your toast slices is to dip them into whisked eggs and then transfer to sesame seeds mix in the other plate or shallow bowl. It is important you cover them completely with sesame seeds, using your finger tips to make sure they are completely covered before frying.

Isn’t it simple? You combine your leftovers to have healthy, meat free toast recipe created completely on your own!

Is hummus better for you than peanut butter?

Hummus is a blend of garbanzo beans, tahini, olive oil, garlic, and seasonings. One tablespoon has less than 30 calories, one-third of the calories in the same amount of peanut butter. That small portion packs in 0.7 grams of protein and 0.6 grams of fiber for such a minimal amount of calories
