I just made this pita hummus grilled cheese today. And while I have plenty of recipes in the queue, I couldn’t wait to share this one with you all. I have a feeling that it’s going to be a hit!

I took that classic pita and hummus combination and turned it into a grilled cheese! I made a sun-dried tomato hummus, spread it on a pita, sprinkled spicy Havarti and parmesan over top, drizzle on some honey, folded it over, spread the outsides with herb butter, and cooked it on a hot skillet until the cheese melted and the outsides were browned and crispy.

Are you drooling yet? I certainly am! I am imploring you to make this for lunch or dinner tomorrow! You simply must.

Here are the simple and delicious details!
