Step 1

Cut the leek in half length wise and then cut in very thin strips.

Step 2

Add the oil to a frying pan over medium heat. Let oil get hot. Test it with one thin leek strip. The oil should begin to bubble intensely around it. If it does not, it isn't ready.

Step 3

Add the leeks about 1/4 cup at a time to prevent crowding. Once they get medium brown, remove them with a metal slotted spoon. Repeat until you have about 1 cup of crispy leeks.

Step 4

Top your hummus bowl with crispy leeks and blue cheese. As your guests work their way through it, add more crispy leeks and blue cheese to the top.

Step 5

Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat, add in the sage and whisk to combine.

Step 6

Add mushrooms and sauté until mushrooms are tender.

Step 7

Top the hummus bowl with mushrooms. Keep the left overs to top things off after your guests have worked their way through the hummus.

Step 8

Fill the bowl with hummus and top with honey, pear pieces, and dried cranberry.

Step 9

Add more of all of the ingredients as your guests work their way through the hummus bowl.
