Ingredients
1 Hard boiled egg (as many as you will be making), cooked, cooled and yolk discarded. (and I DO mean discarded! Don't be snacking on that fatty yellow hunk!)1 Tbsp Hummus (any flavor, calorie count will change, check your container)Garnish (optional) paprika or parsley is good. Also tiny diced roasted red peppers, onions or a little minced garlic is good.
Directions
Prepare hard boiled eggs. I like to buy an extra dozen to boil and keep refrigerated for snacking on or making these! Need tips on boiling eggs: Please see: https://www.mrbreakfast.com/ask.asp?askid=24 for detailed instructions. I usually place eggs in saucepan, just covered with water and then turn up heat. Once boiling I boil for 8 minutes then cool with cold running water before peeling. Cooling completely is better, but you may like them warm.

Peel shell from eggs. Slice the egg in half length-wise. Remove yolk and discard. Fill each hollow left by yolk with a dollop of hummus. I use about 1 tbsp on two halves.

Garnish eggs with a sprinkle of paprika or a little parsley (fresh snipped or dried, whatever you have on hand). Try garnishing with diced roasted red peppers or minced garlic for a richer taste! Be creative but keep it low cal, like tomatoes or onions, maybe capers.

Arrange on plate.

Enjoy!

Warning: These can be addictive, especially if you use the Sabra brand smooth hummus!

    Great snack idea. I often make hummus, but we eat it with pita or tortilla chips. I have tried it with veggies, but just did not enjoy it. This is great, and I get the protein from the egg whites. Thanks. Question??? I half of an egg is a serving, right? - 2/22/10

    My sister just made this using homemade red pepper hummus. It's delicious. What a great idea for using those egg whites. - 2/20/10
