Breakfast Bruschetta
Why I Love This Recipe
I love me some bruschetta.
I love me some hummus.
I've made variations of both but I don't think (although I could be wrong) I've combined the two before. When I received a coupon through the Tastemakers Program for a free tub of Sabra hummus....(which I absolutely love), that's exactly what I did....in breakfast form.
Ingredients You'll Need
1 baguette, cut into 1/4"slices
Olive Oil to drizzle on bread
2 - 3 cloves of garlic to rub on bread
1/2 lb Italian sausage, casings removed and crumbled
1 medium zucchini, diced
1/2 large onion, diced
1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
1 minced garlic clove
pepper to taste
3 roma tomatoes, diced
8 eggs, beaten
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
3 or 4 fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
Your favorite Sabra Hummus flavor(s) (I used roasted red pepper and roasted garlic cuz I couldn't decide which one I wanted).
Directions
To toast the baguette slices I drizzled the slices with olive oil then stuck a grill grate over my stove flame and toasted them over the open flame (of course you can stick them in a hot oven and toast them on a cookie sheet). Then I rubbed fresh garlic over one side of each slice of toast. Once those were done I set them aside.
Preheat the oven to 350' F.
Heat an oven safe skillet over medium heat. Drizzle a bit of oil in there. Cook your crumbled sausage in the pan until no longer pink. Remove from pan (drain if necessary) and set aside.
Add a bit more oil and saute the zucchini and onion until just tender. Then add some pepper, Italian seasoning and garlic. Saute for another minute or so.
Remove the seasoned vegetables from the pan and set aside with the sausage. Clean out the pan and heat some oil and / or butter.
In a good sized bowl, combine the sausage, veggies and eggs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour into your warm skillet. Top with the diced tomatoes, cheeses and basil.
Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the center is set...I cut the center a little to make sure it was cooked through
Spread the toasted baguette slices with your hummus and top with a scoop of egg and chow down!
