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! 🙂

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.
