This is an interesting way to give eggs a bit of a lift. It's a great snack that can be whipped up in just a few minutes. The recipe uses sumnac, which is a lemon-flavoured spice from the Middle East. It's available in the spice section of supermarkets.

Here's how:

1 Combine the onion, parsley and half the sumac in a mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and the lemon juice, stir well and set aside.

2 Toast the bread. Rub quickly with the garlic and drizzle with the extra olive oil.

3 Heat a non-stick frying pan and add the remaining oil. Fry the eggs sunny-side up. Spread the toast liberally with the hummus, and top each slice with an egg and the red onion salad. Sprinkle with the remaining sumac, and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
