Quick & Easy Mushroom Spinach Hummus Melt
Most days, I am a salad for lunch kind of girl. After so many weeks of eating lunch at home, I am ready for some new lunch ideas. I’ve always been a fan of grilled cheese sandwiches. Who isn’t? I was looking for a way to spruce up my sandwich and headed to the fridge for inspiration.
I found some Portobella mushrooms that needed to be used up. Mushrooms and spinach are always a great combo and that’s how I got started on this Mushroom Spinach Hummus Melt. If you have never had hummus in a grilled cheese sandwich before, you don’t know what you are missing! You must immediately drop everything and whip up one of these ASAP.
Hummus is a fabulous dip of course, but even better warmed up as a condiment in a sandwich. You can use any store bought hummus or easily make your own. You may also like Grown Up Grilled Cheese with Polenta Fries.
I did a quick sauté of the mushrooms and spinach and then used the same pan to cook the sandwich. Lather a little hummus onto your bread. Any bread will do but I suggest something heartier like a sour dough or rye. Generously sprinkle on your cheese. I like to use a Gruyere or Swiss for a melt but dealer’s choice.
With only 5 ingredients and in just a few minutes, you have one delicious Mushroom and Spinach Hummus Melt. Serve with hearty grainy type mustard. Hope no one wants to share! Let me know if you try it out.
An easy & healthy at home lunch idea. Everything you want in a grilled cheese but better. Mushroom, spinach, hummus and cheese melt together for this satisfying lunch

That’s exactly my kind of lunch! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Thank you for checking it out! It’s fun to mix it up sometimes
Ooo I bet hummus makes a fantastic addition to any hot sandwich. I’ll have to try that next time!
It really does!
Hummus on grilled cheese! Never thought of it but it sounds great. I’m vegan but have plenty of vegan cheese slices, so this is adaptable. And I’m weird but spinach on anything is a Yes.
Not weird at all! Let me know what you think
I am definitely needing some lunch inspiration! I love grilled cheese sandwiches and this looks delicious.
This sounds fabulous! I always like experimenting with grilled cheese. -M
me too!
Thanks so much Deb!
Yum 🙂 I love hummus but always eat it with veggies or crackers. I never thought of using it as a spread on a sandwich but now I definitely will!
OH it’s so good warmed up in a sandwich 🙂
Yes!!!! I’m totally hooked on red pepper hummus & often add that to my grilled cheddars. The mushroom & spinach would be a great add-on.
Thanks hope you enjoy!
This looks so good! Strangely mushrooms are one of the things I’ve been craving.
Lately, I am craving them as well! Have no idea why
This looks delicious! I love mushrooms paired with melted cheese, and need to try to add them to my grilled cheese!

I’m also a lite-lunch kind of gal, but that sandwich looks amazing! I love hummus but never thought of it as a spread or condiment for a sandwich. I will have to give it a wing!
It’s even better warmed up in a sandwich
This sounds so good! I’ve never tried hummus on a warm sandwich before. And I love mushrooms on a grilled cheese 🙂
Hummus is so much better warmed up!
