Today’s Avocado, Hummus, & Feta Grilled Cheese Recipe is a Mediterranean savory adventure–it’ll be your new favorite grilled cheese sandwich! We love feta grilled cheese or any hummus and cheese sandwich for that matter. But, hold on cuz we’re taking it to the next level by adding in the avocado! Your tastebuds will be in complete heaven with every crunchy Mediterranean inspired bite. All you need is whole wheat bread, avocado, hummus, and feta cheese and you are on your way to the best grilled cheese you’ve ever tasted!
Our Avocado, Hummus, & Feta Grilled Cheese Recipe is a healthier version!
Although you’d never guess it in a million years! It’s still gooey and crunchy and packed with all kind of amazing flavors! It helps to get a really crispy outside if you first coat the pan with cooking spray then allow it to get really nice before hot before putting on the sandwiches. It’ll brown and crisp beautifully with only about 1 teaspoon butter per side. My motto is to put the calories where I want them and still retain all the fabulous crunchy flavors! Win-Win!
Ingredients for our 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.

Heather Rodacker says
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
Ruthie says
