Instructions

1
1. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat, about 375°F / 190°C as a hot-surface equivalent. Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and toast the bread slices for 2 minutes per side, until golden and crisp.
2
2. In the same hot skillet, add the sesame seeds and toast for 30 to 45 seconds, stirring constantly so they do not burn. Remove immediately.
3
3. Spread each toast generously with beet hummus.
4
4. Arrange the orange segments over the hummus and crumble the feta on top.
5
5. In a small spoon or bowl, mix the honey with the remaining olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle this mixture over the toasts.

6. Finish with the sliced fresh mint and toasted sesame. Serve immediately to keep the bread crisp.

Chef tips

For an even crispier texture, toast the bread 1 extra minute per side. For a cleaner presentation, lightly pat the orange segments dry with paper towel before placing them on top.

Substitutions

You can swap the orange for mandarin and the mint for fresh basil. If you do not have feta, use crumbled goat cheese, though the flavor profile will change.
