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
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
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
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.

Jalapeno Popper Mushrooms
My husband loves stuffed jalapeños and I like stuffed mushrooms, so I came up with this jalapeño popper mushrooms recipe that combines the two. Leave some of the seeds or ribs in the jalapeño for more heat! I like to use Neufchâtel cheese and turkey bacon for a lower fat version — it's just as tasty!
Steakhouse au Gratin Potatoes
These super creamy and rich restaurant-style potatoes will be gobbled up fast. They are excellent as leftovers warmed up in the microwave with eggs and bacon the next day. They are not a light or low-fat dish. Save this for a special occasion.
