I posted the picture of this panini a little bit ago but I didn’t really post the whole recipe. After the crazy weekend I had I made this again so I figured it was worth sharing, because seriously it’s mouth watering. If you want to spice it up and you are not a vegetarian slap some bacon or ham or that for added flavor!
Disclaimer: I received the Sargento’s Ultra Thin free as an Influenster VoxBox however the recipe and my opinion are totally my own.
Ingredients: 2 slices of Sargento’s Ultra Thin Provolone cheese ~ 2 TBSP Spinach and Artichoke Hummus ~ 1/2 cup Bean Sprouts ~ 2 slices of Texas Toast ~ butter NOTE: If you can’t find Texas Toast then Sourdough would be a great alternative.
Directions: Butter one side of the Texas toast. Place the bread buttered side down on the panini press or griddle. Spread half the Spinach artichoke hummus on the non-buttered side.
Top with the bean sprouts, and two slices of Sargento’s Ultra Thin Provolone cheese.
Remove from heat and devour in the least amount of bites as possible! Done and done! Only one half of the sandwich is pictured because I devour the other half for testing purposes. 😉

Melissa @ Loving Life Moore says
Ummm my husband absolutely loves grilled cheese! I’ll have to try making this version for him! Sometimes I throw spinach and tomato on his, and he doesn’t seem to complain TOO much 😉
Kerry says
I feel if you can wrap veggies in cheese it is more disguised! 😉

Liz @ Fitness Blondie says
your amazing recipes never cease to amaze me. never thought about this with bean sprouts! do they get soft when cooked?
Kerry says
Thank you. They get a little soft but there is still a bit of a crunch. It pairs well with the hummus.
Maddie says
I want a grilled cheese. Like right now!
Kerry says
Haha! It was so good you should make it! Aside from the bread I think it would be gluten free. Right?
Kelly (@KRod0519) says
Interesting choice…why did you decide on bean sprouts? Did they stay crunchy? Was it a texture thing? Do they provide any flavor? Intrigued. 🙂
Kerry says
I really wanted something to add some “meat” to the grilled cheese without the meat. I figured sprouts would hold their own. It did stay slightly crunchy but not overly crunchy. It really was a texture and a full feeling to the sandwich without a ton of calories that I wanted. It doesn’t have a flavor but it had bulk.
jackie says
yum this looks awesome! we have a sandwich press and i always forget about it. i need to break it out!
Kerry says
Yes, break it out! It makes it so much better on a press I don’t know why!
birdietobe says
I love grilled cheeses! And I always try to load mine with veggies too… Obviously the veggies cancel out the cheese calories! 😉
Kerry says
It totally cancels out the cheese and the bread calories! 😉
Jana @ The Townhouse Pioneer says
Grilled cheese is the greatest sandwich of all time. I never thought about using sprouts since I’m not a huge fan but I might give this a try.
Kerry says
Grilled cheese is the best! It really adds to the whole flavor explosion! 😉
Mandy says
this with bacon is going to be fantastic!
Kerry says
Bacon makes everything better!!
Gloria // Simply Gloria says
Kerry, loving this whole action on this sandwich!
Amanda Elizabeth says
How have I never thought to use Texas Toast for a pressed sandwich? Thank you for that mind blown awakening!
Kerry says
It was so good and the rest of the bread can be used to make French toast! 😉
