My sister-in-law served us this hummus grilled cheese sandwich after seeing it posted on the Dallas Arboretum bulletin board. I thought it was too good not to share, and it's a perfect choice for Meatless Monday. We especially enjoy rye or sourdough for this sandwich.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 0.5 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 0.5 cups coarsely chopped sweet onion
  • 4 slices bread
  • 4 teaspoons mayonnaise
  • 0.67 cups roasted red pepper hummus , such as ATHENOS®
  • 0.5 cups shredded Swiss cheese

Instructions

  1. 1

    Melt butter over medium heat in a skillet. Sauté mushrooms and onions until tender, about 5 minutes; remove from skillet, and set skillet aside.

  2. 2

    Spread mayonnaise on 4 slices of bread. Turn the slices mayo side down, and evenly spread hummus on all 4 slices. On only 2 of those slices, evenly layer mushroom-onion mixture followed by Swiss cheese. Top with remaining 2 bread slices with mayonnaise side up. (To clarify, each of the 2 sandwiches will have hummus on the top and bottom of the sandwich, with cheese and mushroom mixture in the center).

  3. 3

    Reheat the skillet over medium heat; place sandwiches mayonnaise side down in the skillet, and cook until golden brown on both sides and cheese is melted, 5 to 6 minutes, flipping half way through.
