What goes in a spinach corn sandwich?

To make this cheesy spinach corn sandwich you will need the ingredients shown in the image below:

Ingredient notes

• Bread: I have used plain brown bread in this recipe but you can use any sandwich bread of your choice.
• Spinach: In this recipe, I have used regular spinach but baby spinach can also be used. Saute baby spinach for a lesser time.
• Cheese: I have used shredded mozzarella, you can use any melting cheese of your choice. Instead of mixing cheese in the filling, you can also put cheese slices on the bread slice and then put the filling on top of it.
• Seasoning: Feel free to use dried herbs and spices of your choice to flavor the filling.
• Olive oil: I have used olive oil to grill the sandwiches but you can use butter too.

How to make (step by step photo instructions)?

Step 1: Heat a skillet. Add butter and let it melt.

Steps 2 and 3: Add sweet corn kernels and garlic. Saute for 3-4 minutes or until the corn kernels are cooked.

Step 4: Add salt, chili flakes, dried oregano, and pepper. Saute for a few more minutes.

Step 5: Add chopped spinach.

Step 6: Cook until the spinach gets wilted.

Step 7: Push the spinach corn mixture towards the edges of the skillet and create some space in the center. Put all-purpose flour in the center.

Step 8: Saute the all-purpose flour for around 2 minutes or until the flour starts changing color.

Steps 9 and 10: Add milk. Stir continuously and cook until the mixture thickens. Switch off the stove.

Step 11: Add shredded cheese and mix.

Step 12: Heat a grill pan or skillet. Brush it with olive oil/ butter.

Step 13: Place a bread slice on the grill pan.

Step 14: Spread some spinach corn filling on top.

Step 15: Cover it with another bread slice and brush it with some olive oil/ butter.

Step 16: Grill from both sides until the bread turns brown and crispy.

Serving spinach corn sandwich

Being a tea lover who keeps on looking for excuses to have a cup of tea, I love having sandwiches with a cup of tea. Especially, if I am eating it as a breakfast or appetizer.

However, there are many other side dishes that people prefer having with this sandwich. You can get some ideas below:

1. Mint chutney
2. Coriander tomato chutney
3. Baked potato wedges
4. Sour cream and onion dip
5. Spanish potatoes
6. Roasted tomato bell pepper soup

Reheating the sandwich

The best way to reheat this grilled cheese corn sandwich is on a griddle or skillet. Heat on a medium flame from both sides until the cheese starts melting again.

You can also reheat it in a microwave but that generally makes the sandwich soggy.

Vegan notes

To make a vegan version of a spinach corn sandwich, replace butter with margarine or olive oil. Also, either skip the cheese completely or use a vegan melting cheese.

Make sure that the bread you are using is vegan.

Gluten-free notes

If you want to create a gluten-free version of this recipe, use sweet rice flour instead of flour in the filling. And, use gluten-free bread to make the sandwich.

Recipe tips, tricks, and variation suggestions

1. You can add more vegetables like carrot, green peas, French beans, bell pepper, etc to the stuffing.
2. Cheese lovers may increase the amount of cheese and use a combination of different cheeses in the stuffing.
3. You can also apply a spread of your choice to the bread slices to add extra flavor.
4. Saute the flour properly otherwise, it may taste raw in the filling.
5. After adding milk to the filling, stir continuously until it thickens to avoid lump formation.
6. You may also add chopped pineapple to the filling to add some sweetness and texture to the sandwich.
