Smoked Caviar and Hummus on Pita ToastsMelanie Acevedo

Using a pastry bag to pipe the hummus onto the pita toasts saved us a lot of time (and made for nice-looking hors d'oeuvres). You can make your own pastry bag with a heavy-duty plastic bag. Just spoon the hummus into the bag and squeeze it into one corner. Then snip off the corner to make a small hole and begin piping.

Cooks' notes:

• Pita toasts may be made 2 days ahead, cooled, and kept in sealable plastic bags at room temperature.
&149; Hummus can be made (without lemon juice so parsley remains green) 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Stir in lemon juice just before assembling.
