I skipped a day of the whole work-week vegan thing yesterday. I had postponed my long run until Monday morning . . . and then again until Monday after work, which I never do (wink, wink), so when I was done, I was absolutely ravenous. The kind of hungry only cheese can fill. Of course, I know that isn't true, there were a multitude of ways I could have chosen to fill my screaming stomach, but with my level of exhaustion, cheese seemed the easiest topper for these sandwiches.
I'm having a love affair with whole wheat English muffins. They're just so versatile . . . and with dinner instructions this simple, why wouldn't I use them almost every single day?
What you'll need AND method . . .
- First, toast four whole wheat English muffins (this recipe makes enough for four open-faced sandwiches -- serves two hungry people).
- Then make the basic hummus recipe you find on this page.
- Then saute a little baby spinach in some olive oil and garlic. Three to four handfuls of spinach will do. Just remember, it'll cook down dramatically.
- Turn on your broiler . . . and on a cookie sheet, lay out each English muffin and top with hummus. Then top with spinach . . . ten top with a heap of shredded mozzarella.
- Broil until brown and bubbly.

Those look great, and about a thousand times healthier than my version! I also postponed my long run for Monday afternoon....except I had a cheesy English muffin pizza before I went running. So bad, but I didn't get a cramp!
Just the words 'hummus melt' are enough to convince me that it must be the best thing in the world.
Hummus is one of my favorite things on God's green earth! I will absolutely try this :)
Yummm. English muffins are GREAT. My dad loves them and so did his dad. Kind of funny! They were a staple in our fridge growing up. Have you ever had "Bays" brand? I always go for the whole wheat/flax/spelt/etc. but Bays are seriously THE BEST. They toast to perfection and have the best "nooks." My FAVorite toppings for them are either plain butter or pnut butter + jelly. Love how the pnut butter melts into them. Okay, ALSO you must try toasting an english muffin, then adding thinly sliced apple on top, then cheese, then broil + top with pepper. SO so so good.
For some reason when I first say these I thought - MMM portabellos! Which leads me to believe they would be great on portobellos as well. Although I do love English muffins...why not have both!
Yum! little english muffin pizzas.
I love this recipe! I'm definitely going to try it.
Thanks :)
These sound so good - I love hummus! I was thinking mushrooms would taste good also.
Made a little variation on these tonight with a group of friends--we used fresh basil leaves instead of the sauteed spinach--it came out wonderfully!
