Author Notes
These salty, citrusy, savory little bites take all your favorite flavors from a traditional Nicoise salad and transport them from a bed of greens to a crispy slice of bread — something we’re always on board with.

To hard boil the eggs, place eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with 3 inches of water. Bring water to a boil, then cover the pan and turn off the heat.

For the dressing: Mince garlic on a cutting board and sprinkle heavily with salt; using a knife, scrape garlic and salt together to form a smooth paste. Transfer paste to a bowl and whisk in lemon juice, mustard, shallot, salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in olive oil. Toss green beans and cherry tomatoes lightly in dressing.
Thinly slice baguette, and warm through for 5 to 6 minutes in an oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. To plate, spread 1 teaspoon or so of kalamata hummus on a baguette slice. Top with a slice of egg, a tomato half, and a green bean.
