Let’s break this one down a little so you can understand the layers of what is going on here. First you have a pizza-inspired houmous dip which is baked and served in a bowl ready to eat. Then there’s the topping of cheese melted right over the top of the houmous. Finally, you have the homemade nachos covered in cheese, representing the crust and also serving as a scoop to eat all that lovely dip with.

This is so delicious and moreish and is sure to be a hit at dinner parties. Whether you serve up a bowl per person, or create displays as part of a buffet for people to dip in and out of, is up to you. You can do smaller servings, or even put together each individual nacho with the houmous topping as a ready-made “pizza” slice.

Whatever you do with it, you’re going to be doing this recipe over and over again. It’s actually a healthy alternative to real pizza even if you might not think it is, simply because of the sheer amount of calories you would get in each slice compared to how many are in a whole serving of this.
