Happy Mother’s Day!

That’s right, we’re giving A Little Somethin’ Sunday a break this week to give a shoutout to all the mamas out there near and far,  especially to my sister in law. A brand new mama to my first nephew! I am beyond excited to be an auntie. 😀

You know what else I’m excited for?

HUMMUS DAY!

That’s right folks. You heard it here first. Today is not only a day to celebrate mom, but the pièce de résistance of hummus week. It’s hummus day, betches. Break out the fine silverware for this one.

I clearly remember having french toast as a kid far more than pancakes or waffles. I don’t think they were ever stuffed with hummus or drizzled with balsamic, but it was a breakfast staple in the Cooper home.

Nowadays, I am much more of a savory breakfast kinda gal, and am no stranger to turning sweet ones to the dark side. ( cheddar herb overnight oats anyone?) Since it’s Mother’s Day AND hummus day, why the hell not make a brunch dish fit for both occasions?! I’m all about efficiency anyways.

I have to say, out of all the hummus-filled recipes this week, this one takes the loaf. It’s a solid dish on it’s own, but it’s that balsamic drizz that takes this one to the top of get-in-my-mouth mountain. And let me tell you, the view is breath-taking.

Cooking Tips:

• Make sure to really press the sandwiches together before dipping in the egg. It will help it hold together, and easier to flip.
• I thickened the balsamic syrup with cornstarch instead of cooking it down. This is not only faster, but also uses a lot less balsamic vinegar than if you reduced it.
• Use any of the over 12 Sabra hummus flavors to make this dish your own. The roasted red pepper flavor just happens to be my favorite.
