Ingredients for this hummus bagel

This is literally a leftover antipasti meal, so feel free to mix and match any dips, meats, cheeses, or veggies you have on hand to create your perfect bagel. Here's what I had leftover.

Leftover antipasti ingredients
  • Bagels
  • Hummus - other leftovers could be baba ganoush or tzatziki. My favourite Hummus is Black swan Hommus (not a typo)
  • Baby spinach leaves - Substitute with arugula or mixed greens
  • Spanish Serrano Ham or any other deli meat
  • Fire roasted red bell pepper - Swap with sun-dried tomatoes or grilled zucchini
  • Feta cheese - Replace with goat cheese or mozzarella
  • Mixed olives and stuffed peppadews - Or use marinated artichokes or capers

Is Hummus Good on a Bagel?

Oh, hummus on a bagel is a game-changer! Imagine the creamy, savoury goodness of hummus paired with the satisfying chewiness of a perfectly toasted bagel. It's truly a match made in breakfast heaven. The smooth texture of hummus complements the crisp crust of the bagel, creating a delightful contrast that will make you wonder why you ever stuck to just cream cheese. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to add a punch of flavour and a boost of protein to your morning routine.

FAQ about this recipe

Can I use any type of deli meat for this recipe?

Yes! Feel free to use your favourite deli meat, whether it’s Spanish Serrano Ham, turkey, or smoked salmon.

What if I don’t have fire-roasted red bell peppers?

No worries! You can use regular red bell peppers or even jarred roasted red peppers as a substitute.

How can I make this recipe vegetarian?

Simply skip the deli meat and add more veggies or a protein-rich alternative like chickpeas or grilled tofu.

What other toppings can I add?

Get creative! Try adding sliced avocado, cucumbers, or a sprinkle of your favourite herbs like parsley or cilantro. Drizzle with olive oil or lemon juice.

What other spread can I use besides hummus on the bagel?

You can switch it up with trusty old cream cheese, avocado spread, or even a flavourful pesto for a different twist.

What Can I Put in a Sandwich with Hummus?

Hummus is a versatile spread that can elevate any sandwich or bagel. Spread hummus on a bagel, then add crunchy veggies like cucumber, bell peppers, and shredded carrots for a fresh and vibrant crunch. Next, layer on some leafy greens, like spinach or arugula, for an extra boost of texture. Looking for something more substantial? Try adding roasted vegetables, like eggplant or zucchini, or even slices of creamy avocado. For a tangy twist, include pickles or banana peppers. Whether you prefer a light and fresh taste or a heartier option, a hummus bagel will hit the spot.
