I'm have a new fondness of open faced sandwiches, probably because the recent buzz surrounding avocado toast. Well, this combination is perfect for that! This toast has many layers of texture and flavor, yet it's simple to make . And, this recipe is very versatile; it can be served as a appetizer on crostini or as a hearty lunch on toast, in a wrap, or prepared as a salad! The white bean hummus can also be served on it's own as a delicious dip for veggies, pita, and falafel too.
