Ham, cheese, spinach and hummus grilled sandwich FAQ:

What type of bread works best for this sandwich?

Whole-wheat bread is recommended for a healthier option, but any sturdy bread can work, such as sourdough or whole grain.

How do I know when the sandwich is done grilling?

The sandwich is done when the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes per side on medium heat.

Can I make this sandwich ahead of time and store it?

It's best to eat the sandwich fresh, but if storing, wrap it tightly in foil or plastic wrap and keep it in the refrigerator for up to a day. Reheat in a skillet to recapture crispness.

What can I substitute for ham in this sandwich?

You can substitute the ham with turkey, chicken, or a plant-based protein like tempeh or additional hummus for a vegetarian option.

What if I don’t have cheddar cheese?

You can use any cheese that melts well, such as mozzarella, gouda, or provolone as a substitute for cheddar.

Tips:

- For an extra crispy sandwich, use a panini press or grill pan.

- Try adding some avocado slices for a richer flavor and additional nutrients.

- If you prefer a vegetarian option, simply omit the ham and add more veggies like bell peppers or cucumbers.

- For a spicier twist, spread a thin layer of spicy mustard or add some jalapeño slices.
