"These are the perfect lunch or light dinner in my opinion; but, they also make a great appetizer for a party. I normally cut mine in half to serve as an appetizer. They have great color; and, very easy to make. Now, I like a black olive hummus; but, you can always use your favorite - however, the black olive is really good; and, suggest you give it a try. And, if you decide to serve these for lunch or dinner. Serve with a side of baby greens, simply dressed with a little lemon juice and olive oil."
Original is 4-8 servings

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Hummus ... Add the chickpeas to the food processor along with the garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper; and, pulse until pureed. Add the olives, and slowly drizzle in the olive oil; until you get a good consistency. Pulse until smooth; but, I still like a little texture. And, I like to refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving if possible.
Step 2
Muffins ... Since I like to melt the cheese in the oven; I prefer to use the oven for this. Toast the muffins under he broiler, until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven; and set to the side.
Step 3
Top each toasted muffin with some of the hummus, a few onion rings, a slice of cheese; and, back under the broiler until melted. Finish with a couple of tomato slices (be sure to season with salt and pepper), sprouts; and, avocado. I also like a little drizzle of red wine vinegar over the top. Note: make sure after you cut the avocado, to squeeze a little lemon on it, to prevent it from browning.
Step 4
Finish and Serve ... These are fantastic served with a salad of baby greens, dressed with lemon and olive oil. ENJOY!
Step 5
However, they are perfect as is for a quick lunch too. And, fun for a party as appetizer, baby shower, or ladies luncheon.
