Ingredients
- 1 cup roasted butternut squash
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons harissa
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 slices of bread
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the butternut squash by roasting cubed squash at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden and tender. Let cool slightly.
- In a food processor, combine roasted butternut squash, drained chickpeas, harissa, tahini, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed.
- Toast the bread slices until golden brown and crisp. Set aside on serving plates.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a small amount of olive oil.
- Crack eggs into the skillet, cooking sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spread a generous layer of the butternut harissa hummus onto each toasted bread slice.
- Carefully place a fried egg on top of each hummus-covered toast.
- Optionally, garnish with additional harissa, chopped herbs like parsley or cilantro, and a drizzle of olive oil.
- Serve immediately while eggs are hot and bread is crisp.
Tips
- Roast your butternut squash in advance to save time and intensify its natural sweetness.
- Use a high-quality harissa paste for the most authentic and robust flavor profile.
- Ensure your chickpeas are well-drained to achieve a smooth, creamy hummus texture.
- Toast bread until golden and crisp to provide a sturdy base for your toppings.
- Cook eggs in a non-stick skillet and aim for a runny yolk that creates a delicious sauce when mixed with the hummus.
- Experiment with garnishes like za'atar, sumac, or fresh herbs to add extra layers of flavor.
- Serve immediately to maintain the crisp toast and hot egg for the best dining experience.
