A low-carb take on classic hummus that uses eggs in place of chickpeas. Thanks to tahini and cumin, it tastes remarkably close to the original, and there's no noticeable egg smell. Enjoy it at breakfast or as a snack with crisp baked lavash chips.
Method
Peel the hard-boiled eggs and put them in a blender.
Add the olive oil, tahini, cumin, garlic, lemon juice and salt.
Blend until smooth.
If it's too thick, add a splash of water and blend again.
Transfer to a serving bowl and serve right away.
