Why we love Avocado, Hummus, & Feta Grilled Cheese Recipe
Your tastebuds will be in heaven with every crunchy bite of our Avocado, Hummus, & Feta Grilled Cheese Recipe. I love a good grilled cheese sandwich–it’s a comfort food for me! I grew up eating a traditional grilled cheese, as an adult I expanded my grilled cheese creations for my mature palate! 🙂
Healthier Grilled Cheese Recipe
• Healthier version? Yes, although you’d never guess it in a million years… it’s still gooey and crunchy and packed with all kind of amazing flavors!
• To get a really crispy outside: first coat the pan with cooking spray then allow it to get really nice before hot before putting on the sandwiches.
• They’ll be browned and crispy with only about 1 teaspoon butter per side.
• My motto is to put the calories where I want them so I can retain all the fabulous crunchy flavors! Win-Win! 🙂
Ingredients Avocado, Hummus, & Feta Grilled Cheese Recipe
•Whole Grain Bread- Whole grains can contain a lot of fiber. Fiber is one big reason to eat whole grains: they help digestion, lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, can help control weight, redistribute fat, make you feel full, and help regulate blood sugar.
• Cheese- is a great source of calcium, fat, and protein. It also contains high amounts of vitamins A and B-12, along with zinc, phosphorus, and riboflavin. Cheese made from the milk of 100 percent grass-fed animals is the highest in nutrients and also contains omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin K-2.
•Hummus- is a popular Middle Eastern dip and spread that is packed with vitamins and minerals. Research has linked hummus and its ingredients to a variety of impressive health benefits, including helping fight inflammation, improving blood sugar control, better digestive health, lower heart disease risk and weight loss.
• Feta Cheese- Feta is a brined, white cheese with a soft and creamy texture. Compared to other cheeses, it’s low in calories and fat. It also contains a high amount of B vitamins, phosphorus and calcium, which can benefit bone health. Additionally, feta contains beneficial bacteria and fatty acids.
• Butter- Butter is rich in nutrients and beneficial compounds like butyrate and conjugated linoleic acid. High-fat dairy products like butter have been linked to a reduced risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart problems. Still, butter is high in calories and saturated fat and should be enjoyed in moderation.

Thank you! You’ll love this recipe 🙂 xoxo~ Ruthie
did you use a cast iron pan for the sandwiches?
Yes, I did but any skillet will work too! I hope you enjoy it!
I made this tonight and loved it. I used a 9 whole grain bread and it came out great.
Wonderful!! So happy to hear that you loved it 🙂 xoxo~ Ruthie
I made this for supper and it was delish. I wonder if it would be good on just bread. Not grilled or toasted. I would love to make this for work lunch
Hi Heather! We are so happy to hear that you loved it! I think it would be just as good not toasted or grilled AND a sandwich for work sounds perfect! Let us know if you like it that way too. . . we’d love to know what you think! I will have to give it a try too- I love this recipe so much!! Have a wonderful evening! 🙂
