For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of garlic powder to the mushroom and onion mixture while sautéing. Feel free to experiment with different types of hummus! A spicy or garlic-infused hummus would also work well. If you don't have Swiss cheese on hand, Gruyere or provolone are excellent substitutes. Make sure the heat is not too high, or the bread will brown too quickly before the cheese melts completely. This sandwich is also delicious cold, making it a great option for a packed lunch.
