Think outside of the box with savory French Toast! This Savory Cheese & Hummus French Toast is bursting with flavor from garlic, cheese, hummus, and a perfectly runny egg. The perfect brunch or brinner.
It’s no secret that my favorite meal of the day is breakfast. Oddly, that does not mean I’m a morning person. Since I’m more of a night owl and rarely get up early enough to make a hot breakfast, I’ve been a fan of eating breakfast all day long.
You may recognize this pic from Instragram. Yesterday morning I asked you to guess what it was and a couple got it! It was this savory cheesy hummus french toast.
It may look like a lot, but this was the EASIEST thing to throw together. All you need for the eggy dip is some egg white and hummus. It’s not that strange… it’s really just savory eggs with bread.
I added some spices too, but you can do your own thing depending on the flavors you’re craving. I’ve also done this with Mexican-inspired flavors and topped it with salsa. That didn’t suck either. 😉
On my brinner version, I included carrot, tomato, hemp hearts, and avocado. Of course, I finished it with a little #yolkporn. The yolk acts as the syrup and it is just glorious… I don’t know what else to tell you. (If you’ve seen my waffles, you know it’s an addiction I have.)
The bread I used as the base is a brand new gluten-free flavor from Canyon Bakehouse – Hawaiian Bread. I love the sweet and savory vibe, but you can use whatever you like!
This recipe was originally posted in April of 2013. Still tasty.

This is the first recipe I’ve posted… since the Honey-Orange Soy Glazed Salmon back in February! Lawd.
What is your favorite french toast recipe?
What is your go-to brinner?
Oh MY! This looks AMAZING. Seriously drooling over here!
Thank you! French toast is good in all its forms. 😉
Well you know I am all over this! I love to put hummus in my grilled cheese. This is a fun and delicious variation. Thanks for joining for Meatless Monday
That’s such a good idea!!!
How have I never thought to have savory French toast? This is genius and I can’t wait to try it. I’ve been missing your strange but good combos.
I need to step up my strange game… LOL!
I’d love to hear what you think if you do try it!
What a creative idea! I never think to make a SAVORY french toast recipe!
Thank you! I love re0imagining what we think dishes *should* be.
I’m intrigued. It’s strange, yes, but I would certainly try it. You know I’m a fan of anything with yolk porn and cheese.
There’s really no downside.
I am super curious about this combo!
You gotta try it!
runny eggs really go with just about everything.
Amen to that!
Ive done savory waffles but not french toast! What a great idea. My favorite brinner is eggs and toast so, here it is in french toast form!
I love your waffle ideas! I need to start making them more again.
This is brilliant! Yum!!
Thanks!
Wow! I haven’t seen this before but lately I’ve been learning all these neat ways to use hummus. What an awesome breakfast – or any meal, really.
I’m a huge fan of hummus on all the things… at all the meals!
It’s funny, when I was growing up one of my favourite dinners was ‘eggy bread’. Basically French toast without any of the sweet elements in it. Served with sausages and covered in ketchup, it was so good! Very common in the UK… Think you belong on a different continent! 😉
Your eggy bread sounds delish! And I 100% belong on a different continent. I need a visa.
Wow you really spiced up toast. This is taking it to the restaurant level. :)))
Thanks Emily!
OMG savory French Toast??? Yes Yes yes and Heck Yes. My favorite meal of the day is breakfast also, I eat eggs all day everyday 🙂 I totally recognize this picture from Instagram, I love following you, especially no that you are in Atlanta. I’m always looking for new bread, I’ll check out Canyon Bake House.
I’m so wirth you on the eggs all day! We ran out yesterday and they canceled the farmer’s market where I get fresh eggs… I’m basically lost right now.
That bread is addicting!! Dude and so is hummus. I need this. My two loves combined 👏👏👏👏
Have you had their brownie bites? SO good. Vegas ate them so fast I barely got a taste though!
