– This Recipe is Sponsored by Pillsbury – We are huge fans of hummus. We snack on it during the day and entertain with it at night. We’ve even come up with our own simple hummus recipe. These cute easy appetizer cups filled with hummus, cucumber and a little tomato are perfect. We promise they’ll be gone in minutes.
Hummus Cups – A Cute and Easy Appetizer
The cups are made from pizza dough. This time, we used pizza dough from Pillsbury. We’re sure you’ve noticed their products in your grocery store – we used their Classic Pizza Crust for this. If you can’t find Pillsbury’s pizza crust, feel free to use any dough, store-bought or homemade. To make the pizza cups, we roll pizza dough until thin then use a round cookie cutter to make small rounds of dough. Then we press them into mini muffin cups and bake until golden brown. Let them cool then fill with hummus and veggies. Recipe updated, originally posted December 2012. Since posting this in 2012, we have tweaked the recipe to be more clear. – Adam and Joanne 1/2 cup hummus 1/2 cup diced cucumber 5 cherry tomatoes, quartered 1/8 teaspoon sea salt 2Form pizza dough into a 14-inch by 12-inch rectangle (this doesn’t have to be exact, just close). 3Use a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter to cut out 20 circles of dough. Press each circle of dough into the muffin cups. Use a fork to pierce the bottom of each pizza cup. Three to four pricks with a fork should do it. (This helps to prevent the bottoms of the pizza cups from rising). 4Bake pizza cups 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Transfer cups to a cooling rack then cool completely.
