Sundried Tomato & Hummus Toast

This Hummus Sundried Tomato Toast boasts 25 grams of protein per serving and only takes 5-minutes to make! Perfect for those busy mornings or when you need a quick snack.

As a plant-based dietitian, I’m always on the hunt for delicious and satisfying meals that pack a nutritional punch. That’s why I love this sundried tomato hummus toast so much! It’s the perfect combination of savory, crunchy, and satisfying and boasts 25 grams of protein per serving! I love making this as an easy, 5-minute breakfast or quick snack or lunch!

While you might be surprised that a couple pieces of toast can have 20 grams of protein, it’s all about the combination of both the toast and the toppings! While the amount of protein in your toppings may vary slightly from mine, the bread I used had 12 grams of protein for two slices, plus 3 grams of protein in the hummus, and about 8 grams of protein in 1/3 cup of edamame. I also used about 1 tbsp of nutritional yeast, which adds 3 grams of protein. The total is over 26 grams of protein in two pieces of toast!

How to choose bread

Even as a Dietitian, I know that choosing bread can be confusing. When I’m choosing a bread, I first look at the ingredient list. The first ingredient should be  whole wheat flour, or whole grain whole wheat flour. Terms you’ll want to avoid (most of the time) are white flour, enriched white flour, or multigrain flour. Next, I look at the nutrition facts table. I recommend choosing bread that has at least 4 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber per slice. I also look at the sugar and salt content of the bread to ensure they’re both below 15% daily value per serving.

Why I love this sundried tomato hummus toast

First and foremost, let’s talk about taste. The combination of creamy hummus, sweet sundried tomatoes, and crunchy edamame is simply delicious. The nutty whole wheat toast provides a perfect base for all of these flavors to come together. But beyond the taste, this toast is incredibly satisfying and nutrient-dense. It’s the perfect breakfast or snack option for anyone seeking a high-protein, plant-based meal.

Protein in this sundried tomato hummus toast

This toast packs a serious protein punch. The edamame alone provides approximately 6 grams of protein per 1/3 cup serving. When you add in the hummus and nutritional yeast, this toast becomes a high-protein powerhouse, with approximately 12 grams of protein per serving. That’s more than most traditional breakfast options like cereal or toast with peanut butter.

How to make this toast

The best part of this dish is that it’s incredibly easy to make.

1. Toast your bread to your desired level of crispiness. Spread 1.5 tbsp of hummus on each piece of toast.
2. Top each slice with half of the edamame, sundried tomatoes, greens and nutritional yeast. Season with salt and pepper (optional) and enjoy!

What to eat with this toast

This toast is incredibly satisfying on its own, but sometimes you need a little extra something to round it out. Here are a few ideas for what to eat with this toast:

Fruit: A piece of fruit like a banana, berries, or an apple pairs perfectly with this toast for a quick and easy breakfast.
Smoothie: If you have a little more time, blend up a smoothie with some plant-based protein powder, fruit, and greens for a complete meal.
Chia pudding: Such a great addition to this toast that can be made ahead of time!

Why this toast is such a great breakfast

There are so many reasons why this toast is the perfect breakfast option. First and foremost, it’s incredibly easy to make. You can have this meal ready in just a few minutes, making it perfect for busy mornings. Second, it’s super satisfying. The combination of protein and fiber will keep you full until your next meal. Finally, it’s packed with nutrients. The edamame and greens provide vitamins and minerals while the nutritional yeast provides a boost of B vitamins.

Ingredient substitutions

One of the best things about this recipe is how adaptable it is. Here are a few ideas for ingredient substitutions:

Hummus: If you’re not a fan of hummus, try subbing in another plant-based spread like avocado or nut butter.
Edamame: If you don’t have edamame on hand, try subbing in roasted chickpeas. You can also completely omit the edamame, but keep in mind the toast won’t be as high in protein.
Sundried tomatoes: Don’t have sundried tomatoes? Try fresh cherry tomatoes, roasted red pepper, or even sliced cucumber.
Nutritional yeast: If you don’t have nutritional yeast on hand, try subbing in some shredded vegan cheese or omitting altogether.

Recipe Notes:

• To make this recipe gluten-free, you can use gluten-free bread instead of whole wheat toast.
• If you are not a fan of edamame, try subbing in another plant-based protein source such as tofu or tempeh.
• For an extra kick of flavor, consider sprinkling some red chili flakes on top of the toast.
• You can adjust the amount of hummus, edamame, and sundried tomatoes to suit your personal taste preferences.
• If you don’t have nutritional yeast on hand, you can omit it or use a sprinkle of vegan parmesan cheese instead.
• Leftover components can be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat the toast, simply pop it in a toaster or toaster oven.

Storing leftovers

If you happen to have leftovers (which is rare in my experience!), store the components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to eat, simply reheat the toast and edamame and assemble as directed.
