In my book, a savory breakfast toast–Mediterranean-style, of course– is the perfect way to start the day! Loaded with hummus, veggies and other Mediterranean favorites, it is a healthy, nutrition-packed and super satisfying breakfast…plus, DELICIOUS! Be sure to check out all my tips and ideas for the perfect savory breakfast toast.

A few weeks back, we talked about what a Mediterranean diet breakfast looks like. And I’ve since heard from many of you asking for more quick Mediterranean breakfast ideas. My answer? Grab some hummus!
It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of hummus. If you stop by my house at any point in time, I’d probably whip up a bowl of roasted garlic hummus to get us started. But equally exciting to me is a simple breakfast toast slathered with plain hummus and loaded with veggies, olives, and maybe a sprinkle of za’atar and good feta.
I make these savory breakfast toast with hummus on a regular basis. They’re convenient, nutrition-packed, and very filling. And let’s get this out there right now, if you don’t feel like dirtying your food processor, no sweat. A good store-bought hummus works great here.
Ready to get on the savory breakfast toast wagon? I’ve got a few tips for you…
Breakfast Toast Tips and Ideas
1.To get the most out of your breakfast toast, be sure to use a hearty and healthy bread like an organic whole grain or whole wheat bread. One slice is often enough if you’re eating quality nutrition-packed bread. If you don’t want to use bread, make sweet potato toast as an alternative!
- To make savory breakfast toast on the fly any given morning, just have your veggies and other toppings prepped and refrigerated in air-tight glass containers. I like to store mine in small separate containers.
3- Breakfast toast variations…the possibilities are endless! You can use traditional hummus ; roasted red pepper hummus ; garlic hummus (or try any of these ready hummus flavors! ) And take the opportunity to use up veggies you already have on hand. I often have cucumbers and tomatoes, so that’s what I used here. You can use other raw vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, avocado (technically a fruit), or even leftover roasted veggies!
If you need more protein, add a boiled egg or shredded rotisserie chicken on top (heck, I’ve even done leftover chicken shawarma !)
If you’re looking for an alternative to hummus toast, try this smoked salmon sandwich , my lighter, vegetable-packed take on lox and bagels.
