AuthoradminA hummus grilled cheese feels like the moment comfort food takes a little trip to the Mediterranean and comes back glowing. Warm, creamy hummus spreads across the bread like a savory foundation—nutty, silky, and just a little tangy—ready to mingle with a blanket of melted cheese. Something mild and stretchy like mozzarella keeps things gooey, while a sharper cheese like cheddar or provolone adds depth and a touch of attitude.
As it grills, the hummus warms and softens, almost becoming part of the melt itself. The bread turns golden and crisp, giving you that irresistible crackle before the rich, velvety center takes over. Add-ins like roasted red peppers, spinach, or caramelized onions can slip in effortlessly, each one amplifying the hummus’s earthy warmth.
The result is a sandwich that’s both familiar and unexpected—comforting, melty, and just a little worldly, like a grilled cheese with a passport.
Melt butter over medium heat in a skillet. Sauté mushrooms and onions until tender, about 5 minutes; remove from skillet and set skillet aside.
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.
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 halfway through.
